The probability of solving a problem of ...

The probability of solving a problem of mathematic for A and B are `1/3` and `1/5` respectively. If both try the problem, find the probability that the problem will be solved.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
N/a
Probability that A cannot solve the problem `=1-1/3=2/3`
Probability that B cannot solve the problem
`=1-1/5=4/5`
Probability that non can solve the problem
`=2/3xx4/5=8/15`
Therefore, the probability that probability can be solve
`=1-8/15=7/15`
