Exercise 33.4

The probability that a student will pass the final examination in both English and Hindi is 0.5 and the probability of passing neither is 0.1. If the probability of passing the English examination is 0.75. What is the probability of passing the Hindi examination?

Let β€˜E’ denotes the event that student passes in English examination. And β€˜H’ be the event that student passes in Hindi exam. It is given that, P (E) = 0.75 P (passing both) = P (E ∩ H) = 0.5 P...

If $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ are two events associated with a random experiment such that $\mathrm{P}$ $(\mathbf{A} \cup \mathbf{B})=\mathbf{0 . 8}, \mathbf{P}(\mathbf{A} \cap \mathbf{B})=\mathbf{0 . 3}$ and $\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{A}})=\mathbf{0 . 5}$, find $\mathrm{P}(\mathbf{B})$

A and B are two events is given P (Aβ€²) = 0.5, P (A ∩ B) = 0.3 and P (A βˆͺ B) = 0.8 Since, P (Aβ€²) = 1 – P (A) P (A) = 1 – 0.5 = 0.5 We need to find P (B). By definition of P (A or B) under axiomatic...
