a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

if u strive for nothing but the best you usually end up with the best.

its ur wish

Make your decision, moreover do u think you will be willing to put everything to a stop after two years and do an MBA and then start over?

Hey Shubb, that was really a simple way. amazing! in the book its solved using conditional probality P(event that flower is a rose (B) / event that flower is red (A)) = p(B n A)/p(A) = 5/8

can any one explain the funda behind conditional probality?

In a garden, 40% of flowers are roses and rest are carnations. if 25% if the
roses and 10 % of the carnations are red,
find the probality that a red flower selected at random is a rose.

hi adi,

its not worth mugging up the word list, not now. cauz it requires disproportionate amount of time wrt to the marks gained. u mite as well improve on other areas instead. and the funny thing is that the words usually asked in CAT never appear in most word lists..

Hi Shub, thanks.. the book i have gives a really complicated answer to in using some kind of conditional probality..

A box contains 6 white balls and 3 black balls, and another box contains 4 white and 5 black balls. Find the probality that a ball selected form one of the box again selecte at random is a white ball?

Answer: 5/9

firstly i found the question really confusing.


and then the solution was even more confusing....

imagine the 3 passengers who are indifferent sit first. then they will have ten seats to choose form. how can this be worked out..

In a railway compartment there are 2 rows if seats facing each other with accomodation for 5 each.
4 wish to sit facing forward and 3 facing towards the rear while 3 others are indifferent. In how many ways can the 10 passengers be seated ?

The answer is:5p4 * 5p3 * 3p3

My doubt is.. Why 3p3 ? it should be 10p3 as the last three are indifferent and can sit on any of the 10 seats.

I dont quite remember, may be CAT 2003@yahoogroups.. i wrote sim cats 2002 too, but then i was not working, so no free ka internet.. looking fwd to simcats 2003...
