  • Question
  • If the probability for A fail in an examination is 0.2 and that for B is 0.3, then the probability that either A or B fails is?


  • Options
  • A. 0.38
  • B. 0.44
  • C. 0.50
  • D. 0.94

  • Correct Answer
  • 0.44 

    Explanation

    ? P(A) = 0.2
    ? P(A) = 1 - 0.0 = 0.8
    And P (B) = 0.3
    ? P(B) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7
    Required probability
    = P(A ? B)
    = P(A ? B)
    = 1 - P (A ? B ) = 1 - P(A) P(B)
    = 1 - (0.8) (0.7) = 1-0.56 = 0.44
