Question

A husband and wife appear in an interview for two vacancies for the same post. The probability of husband's selection is $\frac{1}{7}$ and that of wife's selection is $\frac{1}{5}$. What is the probability that,
Both of them will be selected?

✓

Answer

Given,
Probability of Husband's (H) selection $=\frac{1}{7}$
$\text{P(H)}=\frac{1}{7}$
Probability of wife's (W) selection $=\frac{1}{5}$
$\text{P(W)}=\frac{1}{5}$
P(Both of them will be selelcted)
$=(\text{H}\cap\text{W})$
$=\text{P(H)}\text{ P(W)}$
$=\frac{1}{7}\times\frac{1}{5}$
$=\frac{1}{35}$
Required probability $=\frac{1}{35}$
