Q129.

Consider Guwahati (G) and Delhi (D) whose temperatures can be classified as high (G), medium (M) and low (L). Let P(H_{G}) denote the probability that Guwahati has high temperature. Similarly, P(M_{G}) and P(L_{G} ) denotes the probability of Guwahati having medium and low temperatures respectively. Similarly, we use P(H_{D}),P(M_{D}) and P(L_{D}) for Delhi. The following table gives the conditional probabilities for Delhi's temperature given Guwahati's temperature. Consider the first row in the table above. The first entry denotes that if Guwahati has high temperature (H_{G}) then the probability of Delhi also having a high temperature (H_{D}) is 0.40; i.e., (H_{D}|H_{G}) = 0.40. Similarly, the next two entries are P(M_{D}| H_{G})= 0.48 and P(L_{D}|H_{G}) = 0.12. Similarly for the other rows. If it is known that P(H_{G})= 0.2, P(M_{G})= 0.5, andP(L_{G})= 0.3, then the probability (correct to two decimal places) that Guwahati has high temperature given that Delhi has high temperature is _______

Q130.

In an examination, a student can choose the order in which two questions (QuesA and QuesB) must be attempted. If the first question is answered wrong, the student gets zero marks. If the first question is answered correctly and the second question is not answered correctly, the student gets the marks only for the first question. If both the questions are answered correctly, the student gets the sum of the marks of the two questions. The following table shows the probability of correctly answering a question and the marks of the question respectively. \begin{array}{c|c|c} \text{question} & \text{probabiloty of answering correctly} & \text{marks} \\ \hline \textsf{QuesA} & 0.8 & 10 \\ \textsf{QuesB} & 0.5 & 20 \end{array} Assuming that the student always wants to maximize her expected marks in the examination, in which order should she attempt the questions and what is the expected marks for that order (assume that the questions are independent)?
