Probability

Question:

Let S be the universal set and (n)X = n. The probability of selecting two subsets A and B of the X such that $B =\bar{A}$ is:

Options:

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2^n-1}$

$\frac{1}{2^n}$

$\frac{1}{3^n}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{2^n}$

Explanation:

X is the universal set.

Total number of ways of selecting 2 sets A and B. So two choices for each of elements

⇒ Total number of favorable cases = 2n

Probability = $\frac{2^n}{2^n×2^n}=\frac{1}{2^n}$
