Question
Fatima and John appear in an interview for two vacancies for the same post. The probability of Fatima's selection is $\frac{1}{7}$ and that of John's selection is $\frac{1}{5}$. What is the probability that,
None of them will be selected?
✓

Answer

Given,
Probability of Fatima's (F) selection $=\frac{1}{7}$
$\text{P(F)}=\frac{1}{7}\Rightarrow\ \text{P}(\overline{\text{F}})=\frac{6}{7}$
Probability of John's (J) selection $=\frac{1}{5}$
$\text{P(F)}=\frac{1}{5}\Rightarrow\ \text{P}(\overline{\text{F}})=\frac{4}{5}$
P(None of them selected)
$=\text{P}(\overline{\text{F}}\cap\overline{\text{J}})$
$=\text{P}(\overline{\text{F}})+\text{P}(\overline{\text{J}})$
$=\frac{6}{7}\times\frac{4}{5}$
$=\frac{24}{35}$
Required probabilty $=\frac{24}{35}$
