Practicing Success
If two independent events A and B are such that $P(A)=\frac{1}{2}$ and $P\left(\left(A' \cap B' \right)'\right) = \frac{3}{5}$, then P(B) is equal to |
$\frac{1}{10}$ $\frac{1}{5}$ $\frac{2}{5}$ $\frac{3}{5}$ |
$\frac{1}{5}$ |
A, B → independent $\Rightarrow P(A \cap B)=P(A) P(B)$ So $P(A)=\frac{1}{2}$ $P\left(\left(A' \cap B'\right)'\right)=\frac{3}{5}$ = $P(A \cup B) = \frac{3}{5}$ (Using de morgan's law) so $P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B) - P(A \cap B)$ $\frac{3}{5}=\frac{1}{2}+P(B)-\frac{1}{2} P(B)$ ⇒ 6 = 5 + 10((P(B)) - 5 P(B) so $\frac{1}{5} = P(B)$ Option: B |
