JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Probability Question Bank Definition of probability

  • question_answer
    For independent events \[{{A}_{1}},\,{{A}_{2}},\,..........,{{A}_{n}},\]  \[P({{A}_{i}})=\frac{1}{i+1},\]\[i=1,\,\,2,\,......,\,\,n.\] Then the probability that none of the event will occur, is

    A)                 \[\frac{n}{n+1}\] 

    B)                 \[\frac{n-1}{n+1}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{1}{n+1}\] 

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[P\](non-occurrence of \[{{A}_{i}})=1-\frac{1}{i+1}=\frac{i}{i+1}\]            \[\therefore \,\,\,P\](non-occurrence of any of events)                 \[=\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\,.\,\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)\,.........\left\{ \frac{n}{n+1} \right\}=\frac{1}{n+1}.\]
