A speaks truth in 75% and B in 80% of the cases. In what percentage of cases are they likely to contradict each other in narrating the same incident?
उत्तर
\[P\left( \text{ Both narrating different incident } \right) = P\left( \text{ Blies and A speaks the truth } \right) + P\left( \text{ A lies and B speaks the truth } \right)\]
\[ = P\left( A \cap \bar{B} \right) + P\left( \bar{A} \cap B \right)\]
\[ = P\left( A \right)P\left( \bar{B} \right) + P \bar{\left( A \right)}P\left( B \right)\]
\[ = 0 . 75\left( 1 - 0 . 8 \right) + \left( 1 - 0 . 75 \right)0 . 8\]
\[ = 0 . 75 \times 0 . 2 + 0 . 25 \times 0 . 8\]
\[ = 0 . 15 + 0 . 2\]
\[ = 0 . 35\]
\[ = 35 \%\]
