In a hostel, $60 \%$ of the students read Hindi newspaper, $40 \%$ read English newspaper and $20 \%$ read both Hindi and English newspapers. A student is selected at random Find the probability that she reads neither Hindi nor English newspapers.
Let $H$ denote the students who read Hindi newspaper and $E$ denote the students who read English newspaper.
It is given that, $\mathrm P(H)=60 \%=\frac{60}{100}=\frac{3}{5}$
$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})=40 \%=\frac{40}{100}=\frac{2}{5}$
$P(H \cap E)=20 \%=\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5}$
Probability that a student reads Hindi and English newspaper is,
$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{H} \cup \mathrm{E})^{\prime}=1-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{H} \cup \mathrm{E})$
$=1-\{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{H})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{H} \cap \mathrm{E})\}$
$=1-\left(\frac{3}{5}+\frac{2}{5}-\frac{1}{5}\right)$
$=1-\frac{4}{5}$
$=\frac{1}{5}$
The probabilities that a student passes in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are $m, p$ and $c$ respectively. On these subjects, the student has a $75\%$ chance of passing in at least one, a $50\%$ chance of passing in at least two and a $40\%$ chance of passing in exactly two. Which of the following relations are true
A die marked $1,\,2,\,3$ in red and $4,\,5,\,6$ in green is tossed. Let $A$ be the event, $'$ the number is even,$'$ and $B$ be the event, 'the number is red'. Are $A$ and $B$ independent?
$\mathrm{A}$ die is thrown. If $\mathrm{E}$ is the event $'$ the number appearing is a multiple of $3'$ and $F$ be the event $'$ the number appearing is even $^{\prime}$ then find whether $E$ and $F$ are independent ?
Given two independent events $A$ and $B$ such $P(A)=0.3,\, P(B)=0.6 .$ Find $P(A $ and not $B)$
The probability that a student will pass the final examination in both English and Hindi is $0.5$ and the probability of passing neither is $0.1$. If the probability of passing the English examination is $0.75$, what is the probability of passing the Hindi examination?
