The odds against student X solving a business statistics problem are 8: 6 and odds in favour of student Y solving the same problem are 14: 16 What is the probability that neither solves the problem?
उत्तर
Let A be the event that X solves the problem B be the event that Y solves the problem.
Since the odds against student X solving the problem are 8: 6
∴ Probability of occurrence of event A is given by.
P(A) = `6/(8 + 6) = 6/14` and
P(A') = 1 – P(A) = `1 - 6/14 = 8/14`
Also, the odds in favour of student Y solving the problem are 14: 16
∴ Probability of occurrence of event B is given by
P(B) = `14/(14 + 16) = 14/30` and
P(B') = 1 – P(B) = `1 - 14/30 = 16/30`
Now A and B are independent events.
∴ A' and B' are independent events.
P (neither solves the problem) = P(A' ∩ B')
= P(A') . P(B')
= `8/14 xx 16/30`
= `32/105`

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 |
