Question
Given the probability that A can solve a problem is $\frac{2}{3}$ and the probability that B can solve the same problem is $\frac{3}{5}$. Find the probability that none of the two will be able to solve the problem.

Answer

Given,
Probability that A can solve a problem $=\frac{2}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P(A)}=\frac{2}{3}$
$=\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}})=1-\frac{2}{3}$
$\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}})=\frac{1}{3}$
Probability that B can solve the same problem $=\frac{3}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P(B)}=\frac{3}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P}(\overline{\text{B}})=1-\frac{3}{5}$
$\text{P}(\overline{\text{B}})=\frac{2}{5}$
P(None of them solve the problem)
$=\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}}\cap\overline{\text{B}})$
$=\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}})\text{ P}(\overline{\text{B}})$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2}{5}$
$=\frac{2}{15}$
Required probability $=\frac{2}{15}$
