To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that exactly one of A, B, or C can solve the problem. Let's denote the probabilities of A, B, and C solving the problem as follows: - \( P(A) = \frac{1}{3} \) - \( P(B) = \frac{2}{7} \) - \( P(C) = \frac{3}{8} \) The probabilities of A, B, and C not solving the problem are: ...
