Question:

For two events A and B with $P(A) =\frac{1}{2}$, $P(B) =\frac{1}{3}$, $P(A∩B) =\frac{1}{4}$ and P(A' ∩ B') is equal to:

Options:

$\frac{7}{12}$

$\frac{5}{6}$

$\frac{5}{12}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}$

Explanation:

In the given problem we have PA) = 1/2, P(B) = 1/3, P(A∩B) = 1/4

We know that P (A′∩B′) = 1- P(A) - P(B) -P(A∩B)

                                   = 1- (1/2)-(1/3) + 1/4

      So, P (A′∩B′)           = 5/6
