Question

If the probability of a horse A winning a race is 1/6 and the probability of a
horse B winning the same race is 1/4, what is the probability that one of the
horses will win?​

Answer 1

Answer:

probability that one of the horses will win is 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

probability of winning horse a is  

Therefore, probability of losing the race of horse a is  

probability of winning horse b is  

Therefore, probability of losing the race of horse b is  

Now, the probability that any of the horse will win the race means

a win and b lose or a lose and b win

Thus, required probability is

0.3
