Given the probability that A can solve a problem is 2/3 and the probability that B can solve the same problem is 3/5. Find the probability that none of the two will be able to solve the problem.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given: P(A can solve problem )`=frac{2}{3}`

`P(A)=frac{2}{3} `

`P(bar{A})=1-P(A)=1-frac{2}{3}` `=frac{1}{3}`

P(B can solve the problem )`=frac{3}{5}`

`P(B)=frac{3}{5}`

`P (overline(B))=1-P(overline (B))`

`=1-frac{3}{5}=frac{2}{5}`.
