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) `=1/16dot` Then the probability that at least one of the events occurs, is :

A

`(3)/(16)`

B

`(7)/(32)`

C

`(7)/(16)`

D

`(7)/(64)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
P(Exactly one of A or B occurs)
`=P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A nn B) = (1)/(4)`
P(Exactly one of B or C occurs)
`=P(B) + P(C) - 2P(B nn C) = (1)/(4)`
P(Exactly one of C or A occurs)
`=P(C) + P(A) - 2P(C nn A) = (1)/(4)`
Adding all, we get
`P(A) + P(B) + P(A) - P(Ann B)-P(B nn C) - P(A nn C)= (3)/(8)`
`therefore SigmaP(A) - SigmaP(A nn B) = (3)/(8)`
Now, `P(A uu B uu C)`
`=SigmaP(A) - SigmaP(A nn B) + P(A nn B nn C)`
`=(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 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:
