In an examination, 30% of students have failed in subject I, 20% of the students have failed in subject II and 10% have failed in both subject I and subject II. A student is selected at random, what is the probability that the student has failed in at least one subject?
उत्तर
Let A be the event that the student failed in Subject I
B be the event that the student failed in Subject II
Then P(A) = 30% = `30/100`
P(B) = 20% = `20/100`
And P(A ∩ B) = 10% = `10/100 `
P (student failed in at least one subject)
= P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩ B)
= `30/100 + 20/100 - 10/100`
= `40/100`
= 0.40

Assume that the chances of a patient having a heart attack is 40%. Assuming that a meditation and yoga course reduces the risk of heart attack by 30% and prescription of certain drug reduces its chance by 25%. At a time a patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probabilities. It is given that after going through one of the two options, the patient selected at random suffers a heart attack. Find the probability that the patient followed a course of meditation and yoga. Interpret the result and state which of the above stated methods is more beneficial for the patient.

Three friends go to a restaurant to have pizza. They decide who will pay for the pizza by tossing a coin. It is decided that each one of them will toss a coin and if one person gets a different result (heads or tails) than the other two, that person would pay. If all three get the same result (all heads or all tails), they will toss again until they get a different result.
- What is the probability that all three friends will get the same result (all heads or all tails) in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will get a different result in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will need exactly four rounds of tossing to determine who would pay?
