Two students independently attempt to solve a certain problem. The probability that A solves it
is 1/10 and the probability that B solves it is 1/3. What is the probability that the problem will be
solved?
Solution
Probability of A = 1/2
Probability of B = 1/2
Probability that A can solve the problem= 1/10
probability that B can solve the problem = 1/3
P(Problem will be solved)= (1/2)*(1/10)+(1/2)*(1/3) = 13/60 =0.2167
