One-shot is fired from each of the three guns. Let A, B, and C denote the events that the target is hit by the first, second and third guns respectively. assuming that A, B, and C are independent events and that P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.6, and P(C) = 0.8, then find the probability that at least one hit is registered.

उत्तर
A be the event that first gun hits the target
B be the event that second gun hits the target
C be the event that third gun hits the target
P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.6, P(C) = 0.8
∴ P(A') = 1 − P(A) = 1 − 0.5 = 0.5
P(B') = 1 − P(B) = 1 − 0.6 = 0.4
P(C') = 1 − P(C) = 1 − 0.8 = 0.2
Now A, B, C are independent events
∴ A', B', C’ are also independent events.
∴ P (at least one hit is registered)
= 1 – P(no hit is registered)
= 1 – P(A' ∩ B' ∩ C')
= 1 – P(A') P(B') P(C')
= 1 – 0.5 × 0.4 × 0.2
= 1 – 0.04
= 0.96

A fair die is rolled. If face 1 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag A. If face 2 or 3 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag B. If face 4 or 5 or 6 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag C. Bag A contains 3 red and 2 white balls, Bag B contains 3 red and 4 white balls and Bag C contains 4 red and 5 white balls. The die is rolled, a Bag is picked up and a ball is drawn. If the drawn ball is red; what is the probability that it is drawn from Bag B?
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 following 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 the person had Throat surgery given that the person was unsatisfied.
