Q:

Out of 17 applicants 8 boys and 9 girls. Two persons are to be selected for the job. Find the probability that at least one of the selected persons will be a girl.

A) 19/34	B) 5/4
C) 20/34	D) 25/34

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 25/34

Explanation:

The events of selection of two person is redefined as first is a girl and second is a boy or first is boy and second is a girl or first is a girl and second is a girl.

So the required probability:
= $(\frac{8}{17} * \frac{9}{16}) + (\frac{9}{17} * \frac{8}{16}) + (\frac{8}{17} * \frac{7}{16})$

= $\frac{9}{34} + \frac{9}{34} + \frac{7}{34}$
= $\frac{25}{34}$

C) 17/5525	D) 7/5525

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 16/5525

Explanation:

Required probability:

$\frac{4 C_{1} * 4 C_{1} * 4 C_{1}}{52 C_{3}} = \frac{4 * 4 * 4}{22100} = \frac{16}{5525}$

Q:

In a race, the odd favour of cars P,Q,R,S are 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 and 1:6 respectively. Find the probability that one of them wins the race.

A) 319/420	B) 27/111
C) 114/121	D) 231/420

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 319/420

Explanation:

$P (P) = \frac{1}{4}, P (Q) = \frac{1}{5}, P (R) = \frac{1}{6}, P (S) = \frac{1}{7}$
All the events are mutually exclusive hence,

Required probability = P(P)+P(Q)+P(R)+P(S)

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{7}$ = $\frac{319}{420}$

Q:

What is pre-emptive and non-preemptive scheduling?

Answer

Preemptive scheduling: The preemptive scheduling is prioritized. The highest priority process should always be the process that is currently utilized.

Non-Preemptive scheduling: When a process enters the state of running, the state of that process is not deleted from the scheduler until it finishes its service time.
