If A and B are two events such that P(A)=0.7 , P ( B )=0.4 and P ( A B )=0.5 , where B denotes the complement of B , then P(B (A B )) is equal:-
Options
- A1 4
- B1 2
- C1 6
- D1 3
Correct answer
A. 1 4
Step-by-step solution
aligned & P ( A )= 7 10 , P ( B )= 4 10 & P ( A B )= 5 10 & P ( B A B )= P ( B ( A B )) P ( A B ) & = P (( B B ) ( B A )) P ( A B ) = P ( A B ) P ( A B ) aligned aligned & = P ( A )- P ( A B ) P ( A )+ P ( B )- P ( A B ) = 7 10 - 5 10 7 10 + (1- 4 10 )- 5 10 & = 2 8 = 1 4 aligned
