An international conference takes place in a metropolitan city. International leaders, scientists and industrialists participate in it. The organisers of the conference appoint three agencies namely X, Y and Z for the security of the participants. The track record of the success of X, Y and Z in providing security services is 99%, 98·5% and 98% respectively. The organisers assign the responsibility of ensuring the security of 1000 people to agency X, 2000 people to agency Y and 3000 people to agency Z. At the end of the conference, one participant goes missing from the conference room. What is the probability that the missing participant was placed under the responsibility of the security agency X?

According to recent research, air turbulence has increased in various regions around the world due to climate change. Turbulence makes flights bumpy and often delays the flights. Assume that, an airplane observes severe turbulence, moderate turbulence or light turbulence with equal probabilities. Further, the chance of an airplane reaching late to the destination are 55%, 37% and 17% due to severe, moderate and light turbulence respectively. On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions :

Airplanes are by far the safest mode of transportation when the number of transported passengers are measured against personal injuries and fatality totals. Previous records state that the probability of an airplane crash is 0·00001%. Further, there are 95% chances that there will be survivors after a plane crash. Assume that in case of no crash, all travellers survive. Let E₁ be the event that there is a plane crash and E₂ be the event that there is no crash. Let A be the event that passengers survive after the journey. On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions :

The chances of P, Q and R getting selected as CEO of a company are in the ratio 4 : 1 : 2 respectively. The probabilities for the company to increase its profits from the previous year under the new CEO, P, Q or R are 0·3, 0·8 and 0·5 respectively. If the company increased the profits from the previous year, find the probability that it is due to the appointment of R as CEO.

A departmental store sends bills to charge its customers once a month. Past experience shows that 70% of its customers pay their first month bill in time. The store also found that the customer who pays the bill in time has the probability of 0.8 of paying in time next month and the customer who doesn't pay in time has the probability of 0.4 of paying in time the next month.

It is known that 20% of the students in a school have above 90% attendance and 80% of the students are irregular. Past year results show that 80% of students who have above 90% attendance and 20% of irregular students get 'A' grade in their annual examination. At the end of a year, a student is chosen at random from the school and is found to have an 'A' grade. What is the probability that the student is irregular ?
