The probabilities of three events A, B and C are given P(A) = 0 ....

The probabilities of three events A,BA, B and CC are given P(A)=0.6,P(B)=0.4P\left(A\right) = 0 . 6, P\left(B\right) = 0 . 4 and P(C)=0.5P\left(C\right) = 0 . 5. If P(A∪B)=0.8,P(A∩C)=0.3,P(A∩B∩C)=0.2,P(B∩C)=βP\left(A \cup B\right) = 0 . 8, P\left(A \cap C\right) = 0 . 3, P\left(A \cap B \cap C\right) = 0 . 2, P\left(B \cap C\right) = \beta and P(A∪B∪C)=αP\left(A \cup B \cup C\right) = \alpha, where 0.85≤α≤0.95,0 . 85 \le \alpha \le 0 . 95, then β\beta lies in the interval :

Options

  1. A[0.35,0.36]\left[0 . 35, 0 . 36\right]
  2. B[0.25,0.35]\left[0 . 25, 0 . 35\right]
  3. C[0.20,0.25]\left[0 . 20, 0 . 25\right]
  4. D[0.36,0.40]\left[0 . 36, 0 . 40\right]

Correct answer

B. [0.25,0.35]\left[0 . 25, 0 . 35\right]

Step-by-step solution

P\left(A \cup B \cup C\right) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) + P ( C ) - P ( A \cap B ) - P ( B \cap C ) - P ( C \cap A ) + P \left(A \cap B \cup C\right)

⇒α=1.4−p(A∩B)−β⇒ \alpha = 1 . 4 - p ( A \cap B ) - \beta

⇒α+β=1.4−p(A∩B)⇒ \alpha + \beta = 1 . 4 - p ( A \cap B )....(1)

again

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)P ( A \cup B ) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) - P ( A \cap B )

⇒P(A∩B)=⋅2⇒ P ( A \cap B ) = \cdot 2......(2)

by (1)\left(1\right) and \left(2\right)

α=1.2−β\alpha = 1 . 2 - \beta

now

0.85≤α≤0.950 . 85 \le \alpha \le 0 . 95

⇒0.85≤1.2−β≤0.95⇒β∈[0.25,0.35]⇒ 0 . 85 \le 1 . 2 - \beta \le 0 . 95 ⇒ \beta \in \left[0 . 25, 0 . 35\right]
