  1. The probability of occurrence of an event A is 5/9 . The probability of non-occurrence of the event B is 5/11. The probability that at least one of them will occur ?
    1. 6/11
    2. 5/9
    3. 4/9
    4. 0.8
Correct Option: D

∵ P(A) = 5/9
∴ P(A) = 1- 5/9 = 4/9
∵ P(B) = 5/11
∴ P(B) = 1 - 5/11 = 6/11

Probability that none of them will occur = P(AB) = 4/9 x 5/ 11 = 20/99

Hence, Reqd. probability = 1-20/99 = 79//99
= 0.798 which is near 0.8.
