Q 10: The value of the contour integral I=\frac1{2\mathrm{πi}}\oint_C\frac{e^z}{\left(z+1\right)\left(z+3\right)}dz where C is the circle \vert z\vert=2 is
Q 11: The Newton Raphson method is used to solve the equation, (x-1)^2+x-3=0 . The method will fail in the very first iteration, if the initial guess is
Q 12: A pair of fair dice is rolled three times. What is the probability that 10 (the sum of the numbers on the two faces) will show up exactly once?
Q 13: A company purchased components from three firms P, Q, and R as shown in the table below.
Firm | Total number of components purchased | Number of components likely to be defective |
---|---|---|
P | 1000 | 5 |
Q | 2500 | 5 |
R | 500 | 2 |
The components are stored together. One of the components is selected at random and found to be defective. What is the probability that it was supplied by firm R?
