Question 895644: The probability that a person will pass a math exam is 5/8 and the probability that his friend will pass is 6/7 . Assuming the events are independent what is the probability that at least one will pass Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The probability that a person will pass a math exam is 5/8 and the probability that his friend will pass is 6/7 . Assuming the events are independent what is the probability that at least one will pass
-------------------------
P(at least 1 pass) = 1-P(2 fail) = 1 - (3/8)(1/7) = 1-3/56 = 53/56
