a group of 350 people includes 187 play the flute, 172 play the clarinet, and 47 both the flute and the clarinet. a person is selected at random. 1. what is the probability that he/she plays the clarinet but not the flute? a. 0.4213 b. 0.3571 c. 0.7812 d. 0.4587 e. 0.2743 2. what is the probability that he/she plays exactly one of these types of instruments?

Sagot :

Using the concepts of Probability, we got 0.2743 is the probability that he/she plays the clarinet but not the flute.

Conditional probability is called as the possibility of an event or outcome happening, based on  existence of a previous event or outcome. It is calculated by the multiplying the probability of the preceding event by the renewed probability of  succeeding, or conditional, event.

We need to find those persons  who can play clarinet but not the flute,

So, we first subtract those person from the clarinets list who are able to paly both clarinet and flute.

Suppose, Number of person who can play clarinet=172

Number of person who are able to play both clarinet and flute=47

Therefore, number of person who are only able to play clarinet but not flute=172-47=125

Probability(P)= [tex]\frac{Number of perople who are only able to play clarinet}{Total number of people}[/tex]

              =>P=( 125 / 350)

               =>P=0.2743.

Hence, if a single person is selected at random,0.2743 is the probability that he/she is able to play clarinet but not flute.
