- the problem is solved
- the problem is solved exactly by one of them

उत्तर
Let event A: Student X solves the problem in dynamics,
event B: Student Y solves the problem in dynamics.
∴ P(A) = `2/5`, P(B) = `1/4`
∴ P(A') = 1 – P(A) = `1 - 2/5 = 3/5`
P(B') = 1 – P(B) = `1 - 1/4 = 3/4`
A and B are independent events,
A' and B' are also independent events
(i) Let event C: Problem is not solved.
∴ P(C) = P(A' ∩ B')
= P(A') · P(B')
= `3/5 xx 3/4`
= `9/20`
(ii) Let event D: Problem is solved.
Problem can be solved if at least one of the two students solves the problem.
∴ P(C) = P(at least one student solves the problem)
= 1 - P (no student solves the problem)
= 1 - P(A' ∩ B')
= 1 - P (A') · P (B')
`= 1 - 3/5 xx 3/4`
`= 1 - 9/20`
`= 11/20`
(iii) Let event E: The problem is solved exactly by one of them.
∴ P(E) = P(A' ∩ B) ∪ P(A ∩ B')
= P(A') · P (B) + · P (A) · P (B')
`= (3/5 xx 1/4) + (2/5 xx 3/4)`
`= 3/20 + 6/20`
`= 9/20`

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 |

A bag contains 3 yellow and 5 brown balls. Another bag contains 4 yellow and 6 brown balls. If one ball is drawn from each bag, what is the probability that, the balls are of different color?
A bag contains 3 red and 5 white balls. Two balls are drawn at random one after the other without replacement. Find the probability that both the balls are white.
Solution: Let,
A : First ball drawn is white
B : second ball drawn in white.
P(A) = `square/square`
After drawing the first ball, without replacing it into the bag a second ball is drawn from the remaining `square` balls.
∴ P(B/A) = `square/square`
∴ P(Both balls are white) = P(A ∩ B)
`= "P"(square) * "P"(square)`
`= square * square`
= `square`
