The probability of happening of an event A is 0.5 and that of B is 0.3. If A and B are mutually exclusive events, then the probability of neither A nor B is ______.
उत्तर
The probability of happening of an event A is 0.5 and that of B is 0.3. If A and B are mutually exclusive events, then the probability of neither A nor B is 0.2.
Explanation:
Given that: P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.3
And P(A ∩ B) = 0 .....[∵ A and B are mutually exclusive events]
∴ `P(barA ∩ barB) = P(bar(A ∪ B))`
= 1 – P(A ∪ B)
= 1 – [P(A) + P(B)]
= 1 – (0.5 + 0.3)
= 1 – 0.8
= 0.2

One of the four persons John, Rita, Aslam or Gurpreet will be promoted next month. Consequently the sample space consists of four elementary outcomes S = {John promoted, Rita promoted, Aslam promoted, Gurpreet promoted} You are told that the chances of John’s promotion is same as that of Gurpreet, Rita’s chances of promotion are twice as likely as Johns. Aslam’s chances are four times that of John. If A = {John promoted or Gurpreet promoted}, find P(A).
