The probabilities that a student passes in mathematics, physics and chemistry are , and respectively. Of these subjects, a student has a 75% chance of passing in at least one, a 50% chance of passing in at least two, and a 40% chance of passing in exactly two subjects. Which of the following relations are true?
Answer: (B),(C)
Solution
Let be the number of subjects passed. From the data: - -
**Sum.** , where , , are the pass indicators. So , which holds with or without independence:
m+p+c=1(0.25)+2(0.40)+3(0.10)=1.35={27
