A random variable X has the probability distribution:
X: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
P(X): | 0.15 | 0.23 | 0.12 | 0.10 | 0.20 | 0.08 | 0.07 | 0.05 |

0.77
E = {x is a prime number} = {2, 3, 5, 7}
P(E) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 7)
P(E) = 0.23 + 0.12 + 0.20 + 0.07 = 0.62
F = {X < 4}= {1, 2, 3}
P(F) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)
P(F) = 0.15 + 0.23 + 0.12 = 0.5
E ∩ F = {X is prime number as well as < 4 }
= {2, 3}
P (E ∩ F) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)
= 0.23 + 0.12 = 0.35
∴ Required probability
P (E∪ F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E ∩ F)
P (E∪ F) = 0.62 + 0.5 - 0.35
P (E ∪ F) = 0.77
The mean and the variance of a binomial distribution are 4 and 2 respectively. Then the probability of 2 successes is

The equation of the plane which contains the line of intersection of the planes x + y + z – 6 = 0 and 2x + 3y + z + 5 = 0 and perpendicular to the xy plane is:
x – 2y + 11 = 0
x + 2y + 11 = 0
x + 2y – 11 = 0
x + 2y – 11 = 0
