Question 441206: kamal and monica appeared for an interview for two vacancies. the probability of kamal's selevtion is 1/3 and that of monica's selection is 1/5. find the probability that only one of them will bw selected. Answer by Euler(11) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! When solving this sort of probability questions, you have to consider two scenarios; first that of Kamal's selection and Monica's rejection and then that of Kamal's rejection and Monica's selection.
Probability: First scenario OR second scenario
1/3+4/5 * 2/3+1/5
=221/225 which is equivalent to 0.9822222. :)
