Question

If two events `Aa n dB` are such that `P(A^o)=0. 3 ,P(B)=0. 4 ,a n dP(AnnB^o)=0. 5` , then find the value of `P[B//(AuuB^o)]dot` Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A::D

`P(A^(c)) = 0.3 " " ["given"]`

`rArr P(A) = 0.7`

`P(B) = 0.4 " "["given"]`

`rArr P(B^(c)) = 0.6 " and "P (A nn B^(c)) = 0.5 " " ["given"]`

Now, `P(A uu B^(c)) =P(A) +P(B^(c)) - P(A nn )^(c))`

` = 0.7 +0.6 -0.5 = 0.8`

`therefore P[B//(A uu B^(c)] = (P{B nn (A uu B^(c))})/(P(A uu B^(c)))`

`=(P{(B nn A) uu (B nn B^(c))}}/(0.8) = (P{(B nn A) uu phi})/(0.8) = (P(B nn A))/(0.8)`

`=(1)/(0.8) [P(A) - P(A nn B^(c))]`

` = (0.7 -0.5)/(0.8) = (0.2)/(0.8) = (1)/(4)`
