A die, whose faces are marked 1, 2, 3 in red, and 4,5,6 in green, is tossed. Let A be the event “number obtained is even” and B be the event “number obtained is red”. Then what is the value of P(A ∩ B)? |
1/6 1/4 1/3 2/3 |
1/6 |
Sample space, $S=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$ Identity event, $A=\{2,4,6\}$ $P(A)=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$ Red numbers on Die, $B=\{1,2,3\}$ $P(B)=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$ $⇒A ∩ B =\{2\}$ $⇒P(A ∩ B) = \frac{1}{6}$ |
