For two events A and B , it is given that P(A)=P ( A B )= 1 4 and P ( B A )= 1 2 . Then
Options
- AA and B are mutually exclusive events
- BA and B are dependent events
- CP ( A B )= 3 4
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
C. P ( A B )= 3 4
Step-by-step solution
We have, P(A)=P ( A B )= 1 4 . This shows that A and B are independent events. So, P(B)=P ( B A )= 1 2 Now, P ( A B )= 1 4 P ( A B )=1- 1 4 = 3 4
