Question
If the probability that student A will pass an exam is 0.7, and the probability that student B will pass the same exam is 0.6, and the probability that both students will pass the exam is 0.5. What is the probability that at least one of them will pass?*1 point0.700.800.650.85
Solution
The probability that at least one of them will pass is calculated by adding the individual probabilities and subtracting the probability that both will pass.
So, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
= 0.7 (probability that student A will pass) + 0.6 (probability that student B will pass) - 0.5 (probability that both will pass)
= 1.3 - 0.5
= 0.8
So, the probability that at least one of them will pass is 0.8.
