Three students

Three students independently try to solve the problem. The first student will solve a similar problem with a probability of 0.6, the second student will solve at a probability of 0.55, and the third will solve at a probability 0.04. The problem is resolved, What is the probability that the first student has solved it?

Result

p =  0.496

Solution:

$p_{ 1 } = 0.6 + 0.55 - 0.6 \cdot \ 0.55 = 0.82 \ \\ p_{ 2 } = p_{ 1 } + 0.04 - p_{ 1 } \cdot \ 0.04 = 0.82 + 0.04 - 0.82 \cdot \ 0.04 = \dfrac{ 517 }{ 625 } = 0.8272 \ \\ \ \\ p = 0.6 \cdot \ p_{ 2 } = 0.6 \cdot \ 0.8272 \doteq 0.4963 = 0.496$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
