A problem in Mathematics is given to three students whose chances of solving it are `1/2, 1/3, 1/4` respectively. If the events of their solving the problem are independent then the probability that the problem will be solved, is `underlinebb(3/4)`.
Explanation:
Let A, B, C be the respective events of solving the problem.
Then, P(A) = `1/2`, P(B) = `1/3` and P(C) = `1/4`.
Here, A, B, C are independent events.
Problem is solved if at least one of them solves the problem.
Required probability is
= P(A ∪ B ∪ C)
= `1 - P(overlineA)P(overlineB)P(overlineC)`
= `1 - (1 - 1/2)(1 - 1/3)(1 - 1/4)`
= `1 - 1/4`
= `3/4`.

A problem in Mathematics is given to three students whose chances of solving it are `1/2, 1/3, 1/4` respectively. If the events of their solving the problem are independent then the probability that the problem will be solved, is `underlinebb(3/4)`.
Explanation:
The problem will be solved if one or more of them can solve the problem.
The probability is
`P(Aoverline(BC)) + P(overlineABoverlineC) + P(overline(AB)C) + P(ABoverlineC) + P(AoverlineBC) + P(overlineABC) + P(ABC)`
= `1/2. 2/3. 3/4 + 1/2. 1/3. 3/4 + 1/2 . 2/3. 1/4 + 1/2. 1/3. 3/4 + 1/2. 2/3. 1/4 + 1/2. 1/3. 1/4 + 1/2. 1/3. 1/4`
= `3/4`.

Explanation:
Let us think quantitively.
Let us assume that there are 100 questions given to A.
A solves `1/2 xx 100` = 50 questions then remaining 50 questions is given to B and B solves `50 xx 1/3` = 16.67 questions.
Remaining `50 xx 2/3` questions is given to C and C solves `50 xx 2/3 xx 1/4` = 8.33 questions.
Therefore, number of questions solved is 50 + 16.67 + 8.33 = 75.
So, required probability is `75/100 = 3/4`.

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 |
| Throat | 70 | 25 | 95 |
| Eye | 90 | 15 | 105 |
| Total | 160 | 40 | 200 |
If one person from the 200 patients is selected at random, determine the probability that the person was satisfied given that the person had Throat surgery.

Bag A contains 3 red and 2 white balls and bag B contains 2 red and 5 white balls. A bag is selected at random, a ball is drawn and put into the other bag, and then a ball is drawn from that bag. Find the probability that both the balls drawn are of same 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`
