Probability of solving specific problem independently. If both try to solve the problem independently, find the probability that exactly one of them solves the problem

Answer»

<P>

Solution :P(A) = 1/2, P(A') = 1-1/2=1/2
P(B) = 1/3, P(B') = 1-1/3=2/3
P(exaxtly one of them solves the problem)
=`P[(ANNB')UU(A'nnB)]`
=`P(AnnB')+P(A'nnB)`
=`P(A)P(B')+P(A')P(B)`
=`1/2xx2/3+1/2xx2/3=2/6+1/6`
=3/6=1/2
