I will solve the probability questions (16.A and 16.B) as they are complete. Questions B, C, and D regarding the pyramid cannot be solved without the initial description or diagram of the pyramid, which is missing from the image.

Question 16.A: A box containing 7 red balls, 4 blue balls and 10 white one. A ball is taken at random.

First, calculate the total number of balls: Total number of balls = 7(red)+4(blue)+10(white)=217 (red) + 4 (blue) + 10 (white) = 21 balls.

i. Find the probability that the ball is White or red

Step 1: Identify the number of white and red balls. Number of white balls = 10 Number of red balls = 7

Step 2: Calculate the number of balls that are white or red. Number of (white or red) balls = 10+7=1710 + 7 = 17

Step 3: Calculate the probability. P(WhiteorRed)=Numberof(whiteorred)ballsTotalnumberofballs=1721P(White or Red) = \frac{Number of (white or red) balls}{Total number of balls} = \frac{17}{21} The probability that the ball is white or red is 1721\boxed{\frac{17}{21}}.

ii. Find the probability that the ball is Not white

Step 1: Identify the number of non-white balls. Non-white balls are blue or red. Number of blue balls = 4 Number of red balls = 7 Number of (not white) balls = 4+7=114 + 7 = 11

Step 2: Calculate the probability. P(NotWhite)=Numberof(notwhite)ballsTotalnumberofballs=1121P(Not White) = \frac{Number of (not white) balls}{Total number of balls} = \frac{11}{21} The probability that the ball is not white is 1121\boxed{\frac{11}{21}}.

Question 16.B: If AB=A \cap B = \emptyset on random experiment such that P(A)=15P(A) = \frac{1}{5} and P(B)=13P(B) = \frac{1}{3}. Find the probability of the following events.

The condition AB=A \cap B = \emptyset means that events A and B are mutually exclusive.

i. A or B happens

Step 1: Use the formula for the probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events. For mutually exclusive events, P(AorB)=P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(A or B) = P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B).

Step 2: Substitute the given probabilities and calculate. P(AB)=15+13P(A \cup B) = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{3} To add the fractions, find a common denominator, which is 15. P(AB)=1×35×3+1×53×5=315+515=3+515=815P(A \cup B) = \frac{1 \times 3}{5 \times 3} + \frac{1 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{3}{15} + \frac{5}{15} = \frac{3+5}{15} = \frac{8}{15} The probability that A or B happens is 815\boxed{\frac{8}{15}}.

ii. A and B happens

Step 1: Understand what "A and B happens" means in terms of probability. This refers to the probability of the intersection of A and B, P(AB)P(A \cap B).

Step 2: Use the given information that AB=A \cap B = \emptyset. Since the intersection of A and B is an empty set, it means the events cannot happen simultaneously. P(AB)=0P(A \cap B) = 0 The probability that A and B happens is 0\boxed{0}.

iii. A or B not happens

Step 1: Understand what "A or B not happens" means. This refers to the complement of the event "A or B happens", which is P((AB))P((A \cup B)').

Step 2: Use the complement rule: P(E)=1P(E)P(E') = 1 - P(E). P((AB))=1P(AB)P((A \cup B)') = 1 - P(A \cup B)

Step 3: Substitute the value of P(AB)P(A \cup B) from part 16.B.i. P((AB))=1815P((A \cup B)') = 1 - \frac{8}{15} P((AB))=1515815=15815=715P((A \cup B)') = \frac{15}{15} - \frac{8}{15} = \frac{15-8}{15} = \frac{7}{15} The probability that A or B not happens is 715\boxed{\frac{7}{15}}.
