Concept explainers

Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Question
100%

A man is 54 years old and a woman is 34 years old. The probability that the man will be alive in 10 years is 0.74, whereas the probability that the woman will be alive 10 years from now is 0.94. Assume that their life expectancies are unrelated.
(a) Find the probability that they will both be alive 10 years from now.
(b) Determine the probability that neither one will be alive 10 years from now.
(c) Determine the probability that at least one of the two will be alive 10 years from now.
