Question:medium

A certain type of fish has a 4/5 probability of surviving in a pond, while another fish has a 2/5 probability of survival. What is the probability that exactly one of them survives?

Show Hint

For "exactly one of two independent events" problems, break it down into two mutually exclusive scenarios: (Event A happens AND Event B does NOT happen) OR (Event A does NOT happen AND Event B happens). Then sum the probabilities of these two scenarios.
