Four person independently solve a certain problem correctly with probabilities `1/2,3/4,1/4,1/8dot` Then the probability that he problem is solve correctly by at least one of them is `(235)/(256)` b. `(21)/(256)` c. `3/(256)` d. `(253)/(256)`

A

`235/256`

B

`21/256`

C

`3/256`

D

`253/256`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
P (at least one of them solves correctly) = 1 -P (none of them solves correctly)
`=1-(1/2xx1/4xx3/4xx7/8)=235/256`
