Q.38. A pharmaceutical company wants to advertise a new product on T.V. , where the product is
specially designed for women . For that an advertising executive is hired to study television –
viewing habits of married couples during prime time hours. Based on past viewing records he has
determined that during prime time husbands are watching television 70% of the time . It has also
been determined that when the husband is watching television , 30% of the time the wife is also
watching . When the husband is not watching television , 40% of the time the wife is watching
television.

(i) Find the probability that the husband is not watching television during prime time .
(ii) If the wife is watching television ,find the probability that husband is also watching
television.
