For any two events, (A, B ) if (P(A B)=a P(A B)+b P(A)+c P(B) ), then (3 a+2 b+5 c= ) ?
Options
- A2
- B4
- C3
- D1
Correct answer
B. 4
Step-by-step solution
As we know for any two events (A ) and (B ) (P(A B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A B) ) Now, on comparing with the given equation (P(A B)=a P(A B)+b P(A)+c P(B) ) Then, we get (a=-1, b=1, c=1 ) ( 3 a+2 b+5 c=3(-1)+2+5=4 ) Hence, option (b) is correct.
