If A and B are two events such that P( not A)= 7 10 , P( not B)= 3 10 and P(A B)= 3 14 , then what is P(B A) equal to?
Options
- A11 14
- B9 14
- C1 4
- D1 2
Correct answer
D. 1 2
Step-by-step solution
aligned & P( not A)= 7 10 , P( not B)= 3 10 , P(A / B)= 3 14 & Now , P(A / B)= P(A B) P(B) P(A B)=P(B) P(A / B) & P(A B)=[1-P( not B)] P(A / B)= (1- 3 10 ) ( 3 14 ) & = 7 10 3 14 = 3 20 & P(B / A)= P(A B) P(A) = P(A B) 1-P( not A) = 3 20 1- 7 10 & = 3 20 10 3 & P(B / A)=1 / 2 aligned
