Question 1012549: From the record it was found that solving the problem was P(x)=1/2, P(y)=3/5,P(z)=8/15 .A prroblem is given to x,y and z.On the basis of old record what is the probability that
a) problem will be solved
b)None of them solve problem
c) only x can solve the problem
d)Only Y and Z can solve the problem
e)Only one can solve the problem
f)all of them will solve the problem
g)majority will solve the problem

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The majority will solve the problem, since x is 1/2, but both y and z are greater than 1/2.
Some will solve, but there is no certainty the problem will be solved.
x can solve along with y and z.
All three have the chance of solving it.
All can't necessarily solve it.
