Practicing Success
Let ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ be three independent events with P(A) = $\frac{1}{3}$, P(B) = $\frac{1}{2}$ and P(C) = $\frac{1}{4}$. The probability of exactly 2 of these events occurring, is equal to |
$\frac{1}{4}$ $\frac{7}{24}$ $\frac{3}{4}$ $\frac{17}{24}$ |
$\frac{1}{4}$ |
Probability of exactly 2 of the three events happening $=P(A \cap B)+P(A \cap C)+P(B \cap C)-3 P(A \cap B \cap C)$ $=\frac{1}{3} . \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3} . \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2} . \frac{1}{4}-3 . \frac{1}{3} . \frac{1}{2} . \frac{1}{4}$ $= \frac{1}{4}$ |
