 (29) Ifw things are distrubuted
among a men and b women,
show that the probability that the
number of things received by the
men is odd is

 (30) A man may take a step
forward, backward, left or right
with equal probability. Find the
probability that after nine steps
he will be just one step away
from his initial
position.
(31) A player throws an ordinary
die with faces numbered 1 to 6.
Whenever he throws a 1, he
gets a further throw, show that
the probability of obtaining a
total score of exactly r is

 (32) A is set containing n
elements. A subset P of A is
chosen at random. The set A is
reconstructed
by replacing the elements of P. A
subset Q of A is again chosen at
random. Find the probability
that P u Q contains exactly r (1 ^
r < n) elements. '
 (33) A card is drawn from an
ordinary pack and gambler bets
that it is either (i) a spade or an
ace, (ii) a spade or a diamond.
What are the odds against his
wining the bet?
(34) A and B stand in a ring with
10 other persons. If the
arrangement of the persons is at
random, find the chance that (i)
there are exactly 3 persons
between A and B, (ii) A and B
stand together. Generalize your
result for n persons including A
and B.
(35) If four squares are chosen at
random on a chess board, find the
chance that (i) they should
 be in a diagonal line (ii) they
should belong to the same strip
(iii) two are of one colour and
two of another (iv) three are of
one colour and one of another.
 (36) Cards are dealt one by one
from a well shuffled pack until an
ace appears. Show that the
probability that exactly n cards
are dealt before the first ace
appears is .

 (37) In each of a set of games it
is 2 to 1 in favour of the winner
of the previous game; what is the
chance that the player who wins
the first game shall win three
atleast of the next forur
games?
(38) Ifm things are distributed
among 'a* men and 'b' women,
show that the chance that the

men are odd is ~^ 7,——~~m
