Question

Three students try to solve a problem independently with the probability of solving it as 1/3,2/5,5/12 respectively. What is the probability that the problem is solved? ​

Answer 1

Hello !!

The probability that a problem will be solved by three people = 1 , 2 , 5

3 5 12

The probability that problem will not be solved

= 1 * 2 * 5

3 5 12

= 10

180

= 1

18

The probability of problem being solved

= 1 - ( 1 )

18

= 17

Hope it helps !!!
