(a) Find the probability that she reads neither Hindi nor English newspapers.
(b) If she reads Hindi newspaper, find the probability that she reads English newspaper.
(c) If she reads English newspaper, find the probability that she reads Hindi newspaper
(a) Find the probability that she reads neither Hindi nor English newspapers.
(b) If she reads Hindi newspaper, find the probability that she reads English newspaper.
(c) If she reads English newspaper, find the probability that she reads Hindi newspaper
Solution:
Let E : ‘A student reads Hindi newspaper’
F : ‘A student reads English newspaper’
ThenP ( E ) =
=
P ( F ) =
=
P ( E ∩ F ) =
=
(a) Required probability = P (students reads neither Hindi nor English newspaper)
= P ( E c ∩ F c ) = P ( ( E ∪ F ) c ) = 1 − P ( E ∪ F ) = 1 − { P ( E ) + P ( F ) − P ( E ∩ F ) }
= 1 − (
+
−
) =
(b) Required probability
= P (students reads English newspaper when it is given that she reads Hindi newspaper)
= P ( F | E ) =
=
=
=
(c) Required probability
= P (student reads Hindi newspaper when it is given that she reads English newspaper)
= P ( E | F ) =
=
=
F : ‘A student reads English newspaper’
Then
(a) Required probability = P (students reads neither Hindi nor English newspaper)
(b) Required probability
= P (students reads English newspaper when it is given that she reads Hindi newspaper)
(c) Required probability
= P (student reads Hindi newspaper when it is given that she reads English newspaper)
