Question

Assume that A, B and C are three independent events such that P (A) = 0.2, P (B) = 0.6 and P (C) = 0.4. Determine the probability that exactly one of these events will occur. Answer with the probability in percent.

Expert Solution
Step 1

From provided information; A, B and C are three independent events with probabilities P (A) = 0.2, P (B) = 0.6 and P (C) = 0.4.

So, P (A’) = 0.8, P (B’) = 0.4 and P (C’) = 0.6
