Answer:
Probability that the Problem is Solved = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hii mate ^_^
Given that,
The two events say A and B are independent if P(A ∩ B) = P(A). P(B)
From the given data,
We can observe that P(A) = 1/2 & P(B) = 1/3
The probability that the problem is solved = Probability that person A solves the problem or the person B solves the Problem
This can be written as:
= P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
If A and B are independent, then P(A ∩ B) = P(A). P(B)
Now, substitute the values,
= (1/2) × (1/3)
P(A ∩ B) = 1/6
Now, the probability of problem solved is written as
P (Problem is solved) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
= (1/2) + (1/3) – (1/6)
= (3/6) + (2/6) – (1/6)
= 4/6
= 2/3
Hence,
The probability of the problem solved is 2/3
