A class consists of 80 students, 25 of them are girls and 55 boys. 10 of them are rich and 20 are fair complexioned. -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

Let P (A) = Probability of selecting a fair complexioned person. ThenP(A) = \(rac{20}{80}\) = \(rac{1}{4}\)Let P(B) = Probability of selecting a rich person. Then P(B) = \(rac{10}{80}\) = \(rac{1}{8}\)Let P (C) = Probability of selecting a girl. Then P (C) = \(rac{25}{80}\) = \(rac{5}{16}\)Since the events A, B, C are independent, so probability of selecting a fair complexioned rich girl= P (A) . P (B) . P (C) = \(rac{1}{4}\)x \(rac{1}{8}\)x \(rac{5}{16}\) = \(rac{5}{512}\) = 0.009.
