Bayes' Theorem Problem from ISC 2023 Maths Paper

In a company, 15% of the employees are graduates and 85% of the employees are non-graduates. as per the annual report of the company, 80% of the graduate employees and 10% of the non-graduate employees are in the administrative positions. find the probability that an employee selected at random from those working in administrative positions will be a graduate. 



Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let G be the event that the selected employee is a graduate, and NG be the event that the selected employee is non-graduate.

Clearly, G and NG forms a mutually exclusive and exhaustive set of events.

Further, let A be the event that the selected employee works in administrative office.

According to the problem, we have to find, the selected employee is a graduate given he/she works in the administrative position P(G/A).

By Bayes' theorem,

Now, Probability of an employee to be graduate =

Probability of an employee to be non-graduate =

Probability of an employee working in administrative office given he is a graduate =

( as 80% of the graduate employee works in the administrative positions)

Probability of an employee working in administrative office given he is a non-graduate =

( as 10% of the non-graduate employee works in the administrative positions)

Substituting the values in

, we get,

Set Theory Solved Problems : Class XI

The concept of set serves as a fundamental part of the present day mathematics. Today this concept is being used in almost every branch of mathematics. Sets are used to define the concepts of relations and functions. The study of geometry, sequences, probability, etc. requires the knowledge of sets. The theory of sets was developed by German mathematician Georg Cantor (1845-1918). He first encountered sets while working on “problems on trigonometric series”. In this Chapter, we discuss some basic definitions and operations involving sets.


Empty Sets

The set with no elements or null elements is called an empty set. This is also called a Null set or Void set. It is denoted by {}.

For example: Let, Set X = {x:x is the number of students studying in Class 6th and Class 7th}

Since we know a student cannot learn simultaneously on two classes, therefore set X is an empty set.

Singleton Set

The set which has only one element is called a singleton set.

For example, Set X = { 2 } is a singleton set.

Finite and Infinite Sets

Finite sets are the one which has a finite number of elements, and infinite sets are those whose number of elements cannot be estimated, but it has some figure or number, which is very large to express in a set.

For example, Set X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} is a finite set, as it has a finite number of elements in it.

Set Y = {Number of Animals in India} is an infinite set, as there is an approximate number of Animals in India, but the actual value cannot be expressed, as the numbers could be very large.

Equal Sets

Two sets X and Y are said to be equal if every element of set X is also the elements of set Y and if every element of set Y is also the elements of set X. It means set X and set Y have the same elements, and we can denote it as;

X = Y

For example, Let X = { 1, 2, 3, 4} and Y = {4, 3, 2, 1}, then X = Y

And if X = {set of even numbers} and Y = { set of natural numbers} the X ≠ Y, because natural numbers consist of all the positive integers starting from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to infinity, but even numbers starts with 2, 4, 6, 8, and so on.

Subsets

A set X is said to be a subset of set Y if the elements of set X belongs to set Y, or you can say each element of set X is present in set Y. It is denoted with the symbol as X ⊂ Y.

We can also write the subset notation as;

X ⊂ Y if a ∊ X

a ∊ Y

Thus, from the above equation, “X is a subset of Y if a is an element of X implies that a is also an element of Y”.

Each set is a subset of its own set, and a null set or empty set is a subset of all sets.

Power Sets

The power set is nothing but the set of all subsets. Let us explain how.

We know the empty set is a subset of all sets and every set is a subset of itself. Taking an example of set X = {2, 3}. From the above given statements we can write,

{} is a subset of {2, 3}

{2} is a subset of {2, 3}

{3} is a subset of {2, 3}

{2, 3} is also a subset of {2, 3}

Therefore, power set of X = {2, 3},

P(X) = {{},{2},{3},{2,3}}

Universal Sets

A universal set is a set which contains all the elements of other sets. Generally, it is represented as ‘U’.

For example; set X = {1, 2, 3}, set Y = {3, 4, 5, 6} and Z = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

Then, we can write universal set as, U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,}

Note: From the definition of the universal set, we can say, all the sets are subsets of the universal set. Therefore,

X ⊂ U

Y ⊂ U

And Z ⊂ U

Union of sets

A union of two sets has all their elements. It is denoted by ⋃.

For example, set X = {2, 3, 7} and set Y = { 4, 5, 8}

Then union of set X and set Y will be;

X ⋃ Y = {2, 3, 7, 4, 5, 8}

Properties of Union of Sets:

X ⋃ Y = Y ⋃ X ; Commutative law

(X ⋃ Y) ⋃ Z = X ⋃ (Y ⋃ Z)

X ⋃ {} = X ; {} is the identity of ⋃

X ⋃ X = X

U ⋃ X = U

Intersection of Sets

Set of all elements, which are common to all the given sets, gives intersection of sets. It is denoted by the symbol ⋂.

For example, set X = {2, 3, 7} and set Y = {2, 4, 9}

So, X ⋂ Y = {2}

Difference of Sets

The difference of set X and set Y is such that, it has only those elements which are in the set X and not in the set Y.

i.e. X – Y = {a: a ∊ X and a ∉ Y}

In the same manner, Y – X = {a: a ∊ Y and a ∉ X}

For example, if set X = {a, b, c, d} and Y = {b, c, e, f} then,

X – Y = {a, d} and Y – X = {e, f}

Disjoint Sets

If two sets X and Y have no common elements, and their intersection results in zero(0), then set X and Y are called disjoint sets.

It can be represented as; X ∩ Y = 0

Combinations - RD Sharma Solved Problems

 

What is a Combination?

A combination is a mathematical technique that determines the number of possible arrangements in a collection of items where the order of the selection does not matter. In combinations, you can select the items in any order.

Combinations can be confused with permutations. However, in permutations, the order of the selected items is essential. For example, the arrangements ab and ba are equal in combinations (considered as one arrangement), while in permutations, the arrangements are different.

Formula for Combination

Mathematically, the formula for determining the number of possible arrangements by selecting only a few objects from a set with no repetition is expressed in the following way:

 

Combination - Formula

 

Where:

  • n – the total number of elements in a set
  • k – the number of selected objects (the order of the objects is not important)
  • ! – factorial

A few important results on combinations are as follows:

  • The number of ways of selecting n objects out of n objects is:nCn=n!n!(nn)!=n!n!0!=1
  • The number of ways of selecting 0 objects out of n objects is:nC0=n!0!(n0)!=n!0!n!=1
  • The number of ways of selecting 1 object out of n objects is: nC1=n!1!(n1)!=n×(n1)!(n1)!=n
  • nCr=nCnr
