In a hostel, 60% of the students read Hindi newspaper 40% read English newspaper and 20% read both read both Hindi and English newspapers. A student is selected at random
If he/she reads Hindi newspaper, find teh probability that she reads English newspaper.
Let H: set of students reading Hindi newspaper and E: set of students reading English newspaper.
Let n(S)=100 then,n(H)=60n(E)=40 and n(H∩E)=20∴P(H)=n(H)n(SH=60100=35,P(E)=n(E)n(s)=40100=25andP(H∩E)=n(H∩E)n(S)==20100=15
Required probability = P(a randomly chosen student reads English newspaper, if he/she reads HIndi newspaper)
∴P(EH)=P(E∩H)P(H)=1535=13
