\(\frac {1}{10}\)
B
\(\frac {2}{10}\)
C
\(\frac {9}{20}\)
D

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
Probability (both John and James passed):
= \(\frac {3}{4}\) x \(\frac {3}{5}\)
= \(\frac {9}{20}\)
Pr(john and james failed)= 1- Pr(john and james passed)
= 1 – \(\frac {9}{20}\)
= \(\frac {11}{20}\)
