A class of 4 students are working together on a tough problem for Problem solving class. The chance of any given student solving the problem independently are as follows:
Kendall = .05
Stephanie = .45
Alex = .10
Brandon = .08
Assume that once a student gets the problem figured out, the results will be shared among all the other students. What is the probability the problem gets solved?
Solution
Kendall (solve)= .05
Stephanie (solve)= .45
Alex (solve)= .10
Brandon(solve) = .08
Probability (atleast one solving)=1 - p(none solving it)
Kendall (not solving)= .95
Stephanie (not solving)= 0.55
Alex (not solving)= 0.90
Brandon(not solving) = 1-0.08 =0.92
P(none solving)=0.95x0.55x0.9x0.92=0.4326
Probability (atleast one solving)=1 - 0.4326=0.5674
