The probability that a man will live 10 more years is 1/4and the probability that his wife will live 10 more years is 1/3. Then the probability that neither will be alive in 10 more years is
A lot contains 20 articles. The probability that the lot contains exactly two defective articles is 0.4 and the probability that it contains exactly 3 defective articles is 0.6. Articles are drawn from the lot at random one by one, without replacement and tested till all defective articles are found. The probability that the testing procedure ends at the 12th testing is
