Jim and Ted each take a driving test. The probability that Jim and Ted will pass is 0.5 and 0.7, respectively. Jim Ted 0.7 Pass Pass 0.5 0.3 Fail 0.7 Pass 0.5 Fail 0.3 Fail c) Work out the probability that only one of them will pass their driving test.​



Answer :

Answer: 0.5 Explaination: To calculate the probability that only one of them will pass their driving test, we need to consider two scenarios:
1. Jim passes and Ted fails.
2. Jim fails and Ted passes.
probability that Jim fails is 0.5 and the probability that Ted passes is 0.7. The probability of both events happening is the product of their individual
probabilities: 0.5 * 0.7 = 0.35.

For the first scenario, the probability

that Jim passes is 0.5 and the

probability that Ted fails is 0.3. The

probability of both events happening is

the product of their individual

probabilities: 0.5 * 0.3 = 0.15.

For the second scenario,
probability that Jim fails is 0.5 and the probability that Ted passes is 0.7. The probability of both events happening is
the product of their individual
probabilities: 0.5 * 0.7 = 0.35.
Now, we need to add the probabilities of these two scenarios to find the
probability that only one of them will pass their driving test: 0.15 + 0.35 =
0.5.
So, the probability that only one of them will pass their driving test is 0.5.
