Question 4.
\nA person secures a job in a construction company in which the probability that the workers go ou strike is 0.65 and the probability that the construction job will be completed on time if there is no strike is 0.80. If the probability that the construction job will be completedon tinte even if there is a strike is 0.32, determine the probability that the construction job will be completed on time.
\nSolution:
\nGiven that the probability that the workers go on strike = 0.65
\n\u2234 P(S) = 0.65
\nP\\((\\overline{\\mathrm{S}})\\) = 1 – P(S)
\n= 1 – 0.65 = 0.35.
\nThe probability that the construction job will be completed on time, if there is no strike = 0.80.
\n\\(\\mathrm{P}\\left(\\frac{A}{\\overline{\\mathrm{S}}}\\right)\\) = 0.80
\nThe probability that the onstruction job will be completed on time even if there is a strike = 0.32
\nP\\(\\left(\\frac{A}{S}\\right)\\) = 0.32
\n\u2234 P(A) = P(A \u2229 S) + P(A \u2229 \\(\\overline{\\mathrm{S}}\\))

\nUrn II: 2 white 1 black
\n(ini III: 2 white, 2 black
\nOne of the urns is selected at random and a ball is drawn. It turns out to he while. Find the probability that it came from uni III.
\nSolution:
\nLet E1<\/sub>, E2<\/sub>, E3<\/sub> be the events of selecting Urns B1<\/sub>, B2<\/sub>, B3<\/sub> respectively.
\nThen P(E1<\/sub>) = P( E2<\/sub>) = P(E3<\/sub>) = \\(\\frac{1}{3}\\)
\nLet W denote the event of white ball chosen from the Urn III.
