Two students Anil and Ashima appeared in an examination. The probability that Anil will qualify the examination is $0.05$ and that Ashima will qualify the examination is $0.10 .$ The probability that both will qualify the examination is $0.02 .$ Find the probability that Both Anil and Ashima will not qualify the examination.
Two students Anil and Ashima appeared in an examination. The probability that Anil will qualify the examination is $0.05$ and that Ashima will qualify the examination is $0.10 .$ The probability that both will qualify the examination is $0.02 .$ Find the probability that Both Anil and Ashima will not qualify the examination.
Let $E$ and $F$ denote the events that Anil and Ashima will qualify the examination, respectively. Given that
$P(E)=0.05$, $P(F)=0.10$ and $P(E \cap F)=0.02$
Then
The event ' both Anil and Ashima will not qualify the examination' may be expressed as $E ^{\prime} \cap F^{\prime}$
since, $E ^{\prime}$ is 'not $E^{\prime},$ i.e., Anil will not qualify the examination and $F ^{\prime}$ is 'not $F^{\prime}$, i.e. Ashima will not qualify the examination.
Also $E ^{\prime} \cap F ^{\prime}=( E \cup F )^{\prime}$ (by Demorgan's Law)
Now $P ( E \cup F )= P ( E )+ P ( F )- P ( E \cap F )$
or $P(E \cup F)=0.05+0.10-0.02=0.13$
Therefore $P\left(E^{\prime} \cap F^{\prime}\right)$ $=P(E \cup F)^{\prime}$ $=1-P(E \cup F)=1-0.13=0.87$
