For three events A ,B and C ,P (Exactly ...

For three events `A ,B` and `C ,P` (Exactly one of `A` or `B` occurs) `=P` (Exactly one of `B` or `C` occurs) `=P` (Exactly one of `C` or `A` occurs) `=1/4` and `P` (All the three events occur simultaneously) `=1/6` Then the probability that at least one of the events occurs, is :

A

a) `7/(64)`

B

b) `3/(16)`

C

c) `7/(32)`

D

d) `7/(16)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, `P(A \or \ B)=P(A)+P(B)-2P(AnnB)=1/4`` \ \ \...(1)`

`P(A \ or \ C)=P(A)+P(C)-2P(AnnC)=1/4`` \ \ \...(2)`

`P(B \ or \ C)=P(B)+P(C)-2P(BnnC)=1/4`` \ \ \...(3)`

Adding all equation `(1), (2), (3)`

`3/4=P(A)+P(B)-2P(AnnB)+P(A)+P(C)-2P(AnnC)+P(B)+P(C)-2P(BnnC)`

`3/4=2P(A)+2P(B)+2P(C)-2P(AnnB)-2P(AnnC)-2P(BnnC)`

`P(A)+P(B)+P(C)-P(AnnB)-P(AnnC)-P(BnnC)=3/8`

`P`(Atleast one event)`=3/8+1/16=7/16`

For three events A, B and C, P (Exactly one of A or B occurs) = P (Exactly one of B or C occurs) = P (Exactly one of C or A occurs) = (1)/(4) and P(All the three events occurs simultaneously = (1)/(16) . Then the probability that at least one of the events occurs, is :

For three events A,B and C,P (Exactly one of A or B occurs) =P (Exactly one of B or C occurs) =P( Exactly one of C or A occurs) occurs) P (All the three events occur simultaneously) =(1)/(6). Then the probability that at least one of the events occurs,is : (7)/(64) (2) (3)/(16) (3) (7)/(32) (4) (7)/(16)

If A and B are two events,the probability that at most one of these events occurs is

For the three events A ,B ,a n dC ,P (exactly one of the events AorB occurs)=P (exactly one of the two evens BorC )=P (exactly one of the events CorA occurs)=pa n dP (all the three events occur simultaneously)=p^2w h e r eo

For the three events A, B and C, P(exactly one of the events A or B occurs) = P(exactly one of the events B or C occurs) =P(exactly one of the events C or A occurs)= p and P(all the three events occur simultaneously) = p^2, where 0ltplt1/2. Then, find the probability of occurrence of at least one of the events A, B and C.

If M and N are any two events, then probability that at least one of them occurs is:

If A, B, C are three events, then what is the probability that at least two of these events occur together?
