A high school senior applies for admission to college A and to college B. He estimates that the probability of his being admitted to A is .7, that his application will be rejected at B with probability .5, and that the probability of at least one of his applications being rejected is .6. What is the probability that he will be rejected to at least one of the colleges

Respuesta :

The probability that he will be rejected to at least one of the colleges is 0.51.

Given probability that he will admit in A is 0.7, probability that he will not be admit in B is 0.5, probability that atleast one of his applications got rejected is 0.6.

We have to find the probability that he will be rejected to at least one of the colleges.

Probability that he will admit in A =0.7

Probability that he will not admit in A=1-0.7=0.3

Probability that he will not admit in B =0.5

Probability that he will admit in B=1-0.5=0.5

Probability  that he will be rejected to at least one of the colleges=probability that he will admit in A* probability that he will not admit in B+ probability that he will admit in B* probability that he will not admit in A+ probability that he will not admit in A* probability that he will not admit in B

=0.7*0.5+0.5*0.3+0.5*0.3

=0.35+0.15+0.15

=0.51

Hence the probability that he will be rejected to at least one of the colleges is 0.51.
