Question 137

Sonali can solve 70% of the problems in a competitive exam and Nirali can solve only 60% in the same exam. What is the probability that at least one of them will solve a problem, provided selection of questions is done randomly from the same exam ?

Solution

P(atleast 1 solved) = 1 - P(no one solved)

= 1-(1-0.7)x(1-0.6)

= 1 - (0.3)x(0.4)

= 1 - 0.12

= 0.88
