If A and B are two independent events with $P(A) = \frac{3}{5}$ and $P(B) =\frac{4}{9}$, then P(A' ∩ B') is equal to: |
$\frac{4}{15}$ $\frac{1}{5}$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\frac{2}{9}$ |
$\frac{2}{9}$ |
The correct answer is OPTION 4 - $\frac{2}{9}$ $P(A)=\frac{3}{5},\;P(B)=\frac{4}{9}.$ $P(A')=1-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{2}{5}.$ $P(B')=1-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{5}{9}.$ $\text{Since }A\text{ and }B\text{ are independent, }A'\text{ and }B'\text{ are also independent.}$ $P(A'\cap B')=P(A')P(B').$ $=\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{9}.$ $=\frac{10}{45}.$ $=\frac{2}{9}.$ $P(A'\cap B')=\frac{2}{9}.$ |
