ram and rama both have an apple each. the probability of ram eating the apple is 2/3 and the same for rama is 1/3 the probability that ram will fall sich after eating the apple is 3/5 and the same for rama is 2/5. what is the probability of either of them falling sick.
Answers
Answer:
probability of getting ram sick= 2/3 * 3/5= 2/5
probability of rama getting sick= 1/3 * 2/5= 2/15
probability of getting anyone sick= (2/5 + 2/15)
= 8/15
The probability of either of them falling sick is 0.48
Given:
Ram and Rama both have an apple each.
The probability of Ram eating the apple is 2/3
The probability of Rama eating the apple is 1/3
Probability that Ram will fall sick after eating the apple is 3/5
Probability that Rama will fall sick after eating the apple is 2/5
To Find:
The probability of either of them falling sick.
Solution:
Probability of Ram eating apple = 2/3
Probability of Ram falling sick after eating apple = 3/5
Probability that ram will fall Sick = (2/3)(3/5) = 2/5
Probability of Rama eating apple =1/3
Probability of Rama falling sick after eating apple = 2/5
Probability that rama will fall Sick = (1/3)(2/5) = 2/15
Probability that both will fall sick = (2/5)(2/15) = 4/75
probability of either of them falling sick = 2/5 + 2/15 - 4/75
= (30 + 10 - 4)/75
= 36/75
= 12/25
= 0.48
the probability of either of them falling sick is 0.48
