a man receives extra money from two independent sources on the weekend: one a lottery which he wins 1 100 of the time; the other a friday night card game which he wins 1/3 of the time. what is the probability that he will win money from at least one of the sources this weekend?



Answer :

Probability that the man wins money from at least one of the sources, a lottery and a card game, is equal to  17/50.

Probability that he wins from first source = 1/100

Probability that he doesn’t wins from first source = 99/100

Probability that he wins from second source = 1/3

Probability that he doesn’t wins from second source  = 2/3

Probability that the man wins money from at least one of the sources = 1-(probability that the man wins no money from any of the sources)

[tex]=1-[(\frac{99}{100} )(\frac{2}{3} )] =1-(\frac{33}{50} )=\frac{17}{50}[/tex]

So, the required probability of winning the money by the man from at least one of the sources is 17/50.
