The probabilities that a student passes ...

The probabilities that a student passes in Mathematics,Physics and Chemistry are m, p and c, respectively. Of these subjects, the student has a 75% chance of passing in at least one, a 50% chance of passing in at least two and a 40% chance of passing in exactly two. Which of the following relations are true?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct options are
B `p+m+c=frac{27}{20}`
C `_p m c=frac{1}{10}`
Let `M, P` and `C` be the events of passing in mathematics, physics and chemistry respectively.
`P(M cup P cup C)=frac{75}{100}=frac{3}{4}`
`P(M cap P)+P(P cap C)+P(M cap C)-2 P(M cap P cap C)=frac{50}{100}=frac{1}{2}`
`P(M cap P)+P(P cap C)+P(M cap C)-3 P(M cap P cap C)=frac{40}{100}=frac{2}{5}`
`therefore m(1-p)(1-c)+p(1-m)(1-c)+c(1-m)(1-p)+mp(1-c)+mc(1-p)+pc(1-m)+` `=frac{3}{4}`
