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 exactly 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 exactly one subject)
= P(A) + P(B) – 2P(A ∩ B)
= `30/100+20/100-2(10/100)`
= `30/100`
= 0.30
