Q:

If a box contains 10 bulbs,of which just three are defective. If a random sample of five bulbs is drawn, find the probability that the sample contains no defective bulbs.

A) 5/12 B) 7/12
C) 3/14 D) 1/12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1/12

Explanation:

Total number of elementary events = 10C5

 

Number of ways of selecting no defective bulbs i.e., 5 non-defective bulbs out of 7 is 7C5.

 

So,required probability =7C510C5 = 1/12.

Q:

A box contains 10 bulbs,of which just three are defective. If a random sample of five bulbs is drawn, find the probability that the sample contains exactly one defective bulb.

A) 5/12 B) 7/12
C) 3/14 D) 1/12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5/12

Explanation:

Total number of elementary events = 10C5

 

Number of ways of selecting exactly one defective bulb out of 3 and 4 non-defective out of 7 is 3C1*7C4

 

So,required probability =3C1*7C4/10C5 = 5/12.

Q:

What are the different job scheduling in operating systems?

Answer

Scheduling is the activity of the deciding when process will receive the resources they request.


FCS ---> FCSFS stands for First Come First Served. In FCFS the job that has been waiting the longest is served next.


Round Robin Scheduling--->Round Robin scheduling is a scheduling method where each process gets a small quantity of time to run and then it is preempted and the next process gets to run. This is called time-sharing and gives the effect of all the processes running at the same time


Shortest Job First ---> The Shortest job First scheduling algorithm is a nonpreemptive scheduling algorithm that chooses the job that will execute the shortest amount of time.


Priority Scheduling--->Priority scheduling is a scheduling method where at all times the highest priority process is assigned the resource.

A) 13/42 B) 17/42
C) 5/42 D) 3/14
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 17/42

Explanation:

3 letters can be choosen out of 9 letters in 9C3 ways.

 

More than one vowels ( 2 vowels + 1 consonant  or  3 vowels ) can be choosen in (4C2*5C1)+4C3 ways

 

Hence,required probability = 4C2*5C1+4C39C3 = 17/42
