The probability that Krishna will be alive 10 years hence is 7/15 and that Hari will be alive is 7/10. What is the probability that both Krishna and Hari will be dead 10 years hence?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`4//25`
`P(K)=7/15thereforeP(barK)=1 -7/15=8/15`
`P(H)=7/10therefore(P)(barH)=1-7/10=3/10`
Hence, required probabily is
`P(barKnnbarH)=P(barK)P(barH)=8/15xx3/10=24/150=4/25`
