A box contains 10 light bulbs, fewer than half of which are defective. Two bulbs are to be drawn simultaneously from the box. If n of the bulbs in box are defective, what is the value of n?
(1) The probability that the two bulbs to be drawn will be defective is 1/15.
(2) The probability that one of the bulbs to be drawn will be defective and the other will not be defective is 7/15.
用概率的定义去做。
C(2,x)/C(10,2)=1/15
X(10-x)/C(10,2)=7/15

What is the probability that event E or event F or both will occur?
(1) The probability that event E will occur is 0.6.
(2) The probability that event F will occur is 0.4.
这类题现在考的很少了。一般来说，GMAT考独立事件。
当两个事件独立，满足P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B)
否则P(A∩B)=P(A|B)P(B)
