TIFR ECE 2022 | Question: 14
Let a bag contain ten balls numbered $1,2, \ldots, 10$. Let three balls be drawn at random in sequence without replacement, and the number on the ball drawn on the $i^{\text {th }}$ choice be $n_{i} \in\{1,2, \ldots, 10\}.$ What is the probability that $n_{1} < n_{2} < n_{3} ?$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\frac{1}{12}$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\frac{1}{6}$ None of the above

TIFR ECE 2022 | Question: 7
Two players $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ of equal skill are playing a match. The first one to win $4$ rounds wins the match. Both players are equally likely to win each round independent of the outcomes of the other rounds. After $3$ rounds, $\mathrm{A}$ has won $2$ ... probability that $\mathrm{A}$ wins the match? $5 / 8$ $2 / 3$ $11 / 16$ $5 / 7$ None of the above

TIFR ECE 2010 | Question: 3
Consider two independent random variables $\text{X}$ and $\text{Y}$ having probability density functions uniform in the interval $[0,1]$. When $\alpha \geq 1$, the probability that $\max (\text{X, Y})>\alpha \min (\text{X, Y})$ is $1 /(2 \alpha)$ $\exp (1-\alpha)$ $1 / \alpha$ $1 / \alpha^{2}$ $1 / \alpha^{3}$

TIFR ECE 2020 | Question: 8
Suppose that Dice $1$ has five faces numbered $1$ to $5,$ each of which is equally likely to occur once the dice is rolled. Dice $2$ similarly has eight equally likely faces numbered $1$ to $8.$ Suppose that the two dice are rolled, and the sum is equal to $8.$ Conditioned on this, ... $2?$ $1 / 4$ $1 / 3$ $1 / 2$ $2 / 7$ $2 / 5$

TIFR ECE 2021 | Question: 11
Suppose that $X_{1}$ and $X_{2}$ denote the output of rolls of two independent dices that can each take integer values $\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$ with probability $1 / 6$ for each outcome. Further, $U$ denotes a continuous random variable that is independent of $X_{1}$ and $X_{2}$ ... on this sum what is the probability that $X_{1}$ equals $2?$ $2.21$ $3$ $1 / 6$ $1 / 5$ $1 / 3$
