If A and B are events, such that P(A)= 1 4 P ( A B )= 1 2 and P ( B A )= 2 3 then P(B) is
Options
- A1 3
- B2 3
- C1 2
- D1 6
Correct answer
B. 2 3
Step-by-step solution
Given, P(A)= 1 4 , P ( A B )= 1 2 and P ( B A )= 2 3 We know that, P ( E₁ E₂ )= P (E₁ E₂ ) P (E₂ ) P ( B A )= P(A B) P(A) aligned 2 3 1 4 & =P(A B) 1 6 =P(A B) P ( A B ) & = P(A B) P(B) P(B) & = 1 6 4 1 P(B) & = 2 3 aligned
