  • Y = 0.175X – 5

  • Y = 1.12X – 5.8

  • Y = 1.12 X – 5

  • Y = 0.17X + 5.8

A husband and wife appear in an interview for two vacancies for the same post. The Probability of the husband’s selection is 1/7 and that of the wife’s selection is 1/5. If the events are independent, then the probability of which one of the following is 11/35 ?

  • At least one of them will be selected

  • Only one of them will be selected

  • None of them will be selected

  • Both of them will be selected


A.

At least one of them will be selected

Let H represents the set of husband & W represents the set of wife.

Since the events are given to be independent = PH  W = 0

Hence P(H U W) = P(H)P'(W + P(W)P'(H) + P(W)P(H) 

= (1/7).(4/5) + (1/5).(6/7) +(1/7)+(1/5)

= 11/35
