In an examination, 30% of students have failed in subject I, 20% of the students have failed in subject II and 10% have failed in both subject I and subject II. A student is selected at random, what is the probability that the student has failed in at least one subject?

उत्तर

Let A be the event that the student failed in Subject I
B be the event that the student failed in Subject II

Then P(A) = 30% = `30/100`

P(B) = 20% = `20/100`

And P(A ∩ B) = 10% = `10/100 `

P (student failed in at least one subject)
= P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩ B)

= `30/100 + 20/100 - 10/100`

= `40/100`

= 0.40

Read the following passage:

Recent studies suggest the roughly 12% of the world population is left-handed.

Depending upon the parents, the chances of having a left-handed child are as follows:

A :  When both father and mother are left-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 24%.
B :  When father is right-handed and mother is left-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 22%.
C :  When father is left-handed and mother is right-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 17%.
D :  When both father and mother are right-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 9%.

Assuming that P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = P(D) = `1/4` and L denotes the event that child is left-handed.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
