Step 1: Identify the type of probability distribution.
The experiment has a fixed number of trials .
Each trial has two outcomes: picking a mathematics book (success) or picking a physics book (failure).
The trials are independent because the book is replaced after each selection.
The probability of success is constant across trials.
Hence, this is a binomial distribution.

Step 2: Define the parameters of the binomial distribution.

For the third element , there are 5 choices in B.
The total number of functions is .

Step 2: Calculate the number of one-one (injective) functions from A to B.
A function is one-one if each element in A maps to a unique element in B. No two elements in A can map to the same element in B.
For the first element , there are 5 choices in B.
For the second element , since its image must be different from the image of , there are only 4 remaining choices in B.
For the third element , its image must be different from the first two, so there are 3 remaining choices in B.
The number of one-one functions is .
This can also be calculated using the permutation formula .

The prime numbers between 3 and 18 are 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17.
We need to find the number of ways to obtain each of these sums.
Sum = 3: (1,1,1) - way.
Sum = 5: (1,1,3) - ways; (1,2,2) - ways. Total = 6 ways.
Sum = 7: (1,1,5) - 3 ways; (1,2,4) - ways; (1,3,3) - 3 ways; (2,2,3) - 3 ways. Total = 15 ways.

Since there are 25 consecutive integers and the least integer is odd, the sequence will be Odd, Even, Odd, Even, ...
In 25 integers, there will be 13 odd integers (O) and 12 even integers (E).
We are drawing 3 integers from these 25. The total number of ways to do this is .
Total outcomes = .
The sum of the three integers drawn must be an even number. This can happen in two mutually exclusive cases:

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
The problem deals with a Poisson distribution. We are given a relationship between the probabilities of two different outcomes, which allows us to find the parameter ( ) of the distribution. Once we have , we can calculate the probability of any other outcome.

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
The problem asks for a conditional probability, , which is the probability of event B occurring given that event A has already occurred. However, the draws are made "with replacement". This implies that the outcome of the first draw does not affect the outcome of the second draw. Therefore, the events A and B are independent.
Step 2: Key Formula or Approach
For two independent events A and B, the conditional probability of B given A is simply the probability of B. We need to calculate the probability of event B, which is drawing a clubs card in the second draw.
Step 3: Detailed Explanation
Event A: Drawing a face card in the first draw. A standard deck has 52 cards. Face cards are Jack (J), Queen (Q), King (K). There are 4 suits. Number of face cards = . . Event B: Drawing a clubs card in the second draw. There are 13 clubs in a deck of 52 cards. . The draws are made with replacement. This means after the first card is drawn, it is put back into the deck before the second card is drawn. The deck is restored to its original 52 cards for the second draw. Consequently, the result of the first draw has no influence on the result of the second draw. The events A and B are independent. For independent events, the conditional probability is defined as: Therefore, we just need the probability of event B. Step 4: Final Answer
Since the draws are with replacement, the events are independent. The probability of drawing a clubs card in the second draw is independent of the first draw's outcome. Therefore, .

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
This is a probability problem combining concepts of binomial probability and combinatorial arrangements with restrictions. We need to find the number of specific arrangements (3 heads, 4 tails, no consecutive heads) and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.
Step 2: Key Formula or Approach
1. Total Outcomes: For 7 coin tosses, the total number of possible outcomes is . 2. Favorable Outcomes: We need to find the number of ways to arrange 3 Heads (H) and 4 Tails (T) such that no two H's are together. This is a classic "gaps" problem. 3. Probability = (Favorable Outcomes) / (Total Outcomes).
Step 3: Detailed Explanation
1. Total Outcomes: A fair coin is tossed 7 times. Each toss has 2 possible outcomes (H or T). Total number of outcomes = . 2. Favorable Outcomes: We want to arrange 3 H's and 4 T's so that no two H's are consecutive. First, place the 4 Tails in a row. This creates gaps where the Heads can be placed. There are 4 T's, which create possible gaps (indicated by \_). To ensure that no two Heads are consecutive, we must place each of the 3 Heads in a different gap. The number of ways to choose 3 distinct gaps out of the 5 available gaps is given by the combination formula: So, there are 10 arrangements with exactly 3 heads and no two heads are consecutive. 3. Calculate the Probability: Simplify the fraction: Let me recheck the answer. The calculation seems correct. My result is 5/64, which is option A. The provided answer key says B, which is 5/32 = 10/64. This would imply 20 favorable outcomes. Why would there be 20? The gap method is standard. Let me try to list them. THTHTHT, THTHTTH, THTHTTT, THTHHTT ... this is not practical. The number of ways of choosing non-consecutive objects from in a row is . Here, we are choosing 3 positions for heads out of 7 total positions. . Number of ways = . This method confirms 10 favorable outcomes. The total outcomes is . Probability is . There is a clear discrepancy between my calculation and the provided answer (5/32). Let's consider if the question could be interpreted differently. "exactly three heads such that no two heads occur consecutively". My interpretation seems to be the only natural one. Maybe the total number of outcomes is not ? It should be. Maybe the number of favorable outcomes is wrong? The gap method is a standard and reliable technique for this exact type of problem. Let's assume the answer 5/32 is correct. . This means there must be 20 favorable outcomes. How could one get 20? Maybe ? No, that makes no sense. Is it possible the coin is biased? The problem does not state so. Could it be that the question implies a circular arrangement? "tossed seven times" implies a linear sequence. Let's assume there are 6 tosses instead of 7. Total outcomes = . 3 heads, 3 tails. Gaps for 3 tails: \_T\_T\_T\_. 4 gaps. Ways = . Probability = . The calculation appears to be robust. The answer key is likely incorrect. Step 4: Final Answer
The total number of outcomes is . The number of ways to arrange 3 heads and 4 tails with no two heads consecutive is found by placing the 4 tails first, creating 5 gaps, and choosing 3 of these gaps for the heads, which is . The probability is . This matches option (A). The provided answer key (B) is likely incorrect.

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
