1)  

 In a class, 50% of the students participated in Mathematics-quiz,25% in Science-quiz and 10% in both the quiz programmes. If a student is selected at random from the class, find the probability that the student parriticipated in Mathematics or Science or both quiz programmes.

Answer: 1320


SOLUTION 1 :

In a class 50% of the students study Mathematics.

P(M) = 50100

25% of the students study Science.

P(S) = 25100

10% of the students study both Mathematics and Science

P(M∩S) = 10100

P(M or S) = P(M∩S).

               = P(M) + P(S) - P(M∩S)

               = 50100 +   25100 -   10100

               =   65100

               =   1320 .



2)  

 In a class, 60% of the students participated in Mathematics-quiz,30% in Science-quiz and 10% in both the quiz programmes. If a student is selected at random from the class, find the probability that the student parriticipated in Mathematics or Science or both quiz programmes.

Answer: 45


SOLUTION 1 :

In a class 60% of the students study Mathematics.

P(M) = 60100

30% of the students study Science.

P(S) = 30100

10% of the students study both Mathematics and Science

P(M∩S) = 10100

P(M or S) = P(M∩S).

               = P(M) + P(S) - P(M∩S)

               = 60100 +   30100 -   10100

               =   80100

               =   45 .



3)  

 In a class, 70% of the students participated in Mathematics-quiz,20% in Science-quiz and 15% in both the quiz programmes. If a student is selected at random from the class, find the probability that the student parriticipated in Mathematics or Science or both quiz programmes.

Answer: 34


SOLUTION 1 :

In a class 70% of the students study Mathematics.

P(M) = 70100

20% of the students study Science.

P(S) = 20100

15% of the students study both Mathematics and Science

P(M∩S) = 15100

P(M or S) = P(M∩S).

               = P(M) + P(S) - P(M∩S)

               = 70100 +   20100 -   15100

               =   75100

               =   34 .



4)

P(M∩S) = 10100

P(M or S) = P(M∩S).

               = P(M) + P(S) - P(M∩S)

               = 55100 +   30100 -   10100

               =   75100

               =   34 .
