Let E1 and E2 be two independent events such that P(E1) = P1 and P(E2) = P2. Describe in words of the events whose probabilities are: 1 – (1 – P1)(1 – P2)

उत्तर
Here, P(E1) = P1 and P(E2) = P2
1 – (1 – P1)(1 – P2) = 1 – P(E1)'P(E2)'
= 1 – P(E1' ∩ E'2)
= 1 – [1 – P(E1 ∪ E2)]
= P(E1 ∪ E2)
So, either E1 or E2 or both E1 and E2 occur.

Two hundred patients who had either Eye surgery or Throat surgery were asked whether they were satisfied or unsatisfied regarding the result of their surgery
The follwoing table summarizes their response:
| Surgery | Satisfied | Unsatisfied | Total |
| Throat | 70 | 25 | 95 |
| Eye | 90 | 15 | 105 |
| Total | 160 | 40 | 200 |
If one person from the 200 patients is selected at random, determine the probability that the person was satisfied given that the person had Throat surgery.
