The probability of occurrence of an event is ( 2 5 ) and the probability of non-occurrence of another event is ( 3 10 ). If these events are independent, then the probability that only one of the two events occur is
Options
- A( 27 25 )
- B( 27 50 )
- C( 7 25 )
- D( 14 25 )
Correct answer
B. ( 27 50 )
Step-by-step solution
Given, (P(A)= 2 5 ) ( aligned & P(A)^ =1-P(A)=1- 2 5 = 3 5 & and & P(B)^ = 3 10 & P(B)=1-P(B)^ =1- 3 10 = 7 10 & Required probability =P(A) P(B)^ +P(A)^ P(B) & = 2 5 3 10 + 3 5 7 10 & = 6 50 + 21 50 = 27 50 aligned )
