Answer

$P$(None of kidneys match)= $42.1875$%

Work Step by Step

Event A:1st sibling kidney matches receiver. Event B:2nd sibling kidney matches receiver. Event C:3rd sibling kidney matches receiver. $P$(None of kidneys match)= $P$(Any one kidney matches$)^{c}$ = $P$(A U B U C$)^{c}$ $P$(A U B U C$)^{c}$=1−$P$(A U B U C) $P$(A U B U C$)^{c}$=$1−0.578125$ (explained below) $P$(A U B U C$)^{c}$=$0.421875=42.1875$%. $P$(A U B U C)= $P$(A) + $P$(B) +$P$(C) - $P$(A∩B)- $P$(A∩C)- $P$(B∩C) +$P$(A∩B∩C) $P$(A U B U C)= $0.25+0.25+0.25 - 3* (0.25*0.25) + (0.25*0.25*0.25)$ $P$(A U B U C)= $0.571825$.
