A ship is fitted with three engines E1, E2 and E3. The engines function independently of each other with respective probabilities 12, 14 and 14. For the ship to be operational, at least two of its engines must function. Let X denote the event that the ship is operational and let X1, X2 and X3 denote, respectively the events that the engines E1, E2 and E3 are functioning.
Which of the following is/are true?
P(XC1|X)=316
P (Exactly two engines of the ship are functioning | X) =78
P(X|X2)=516
P(X|X1)=716
Football teams T1 and T2 have to play two games against each other. It is assumed that the outcomes of the two games are independent. The probabilities of T1 winning, drawing and losing a game against T2 are 12, 16 and 13, respectively. Each team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss in a game. Let X and Y denote the total points scored by teams T1 and T2, respectively, after two games.
