If A and B are two events such that P(A)=0.6, P(B)=0.5 and P(A...
If and are two events such that and , then consider the following statements :
1. .
2. .
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Options
- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Correct answer
D. Neither 1 nor 2
Step-by-step solution
Now,
(1) Now \begin{aligned}
& \text{ (2) } P(\bar{B} \mid \bar{A})=\frac{P(\bar{B} \cap \bar{A})}{P(\bar{A})}=\frac{P(B \cup A)^{\prime}}{P(\bar{A})}=\frac{1-P(A \cup B)}{P(\bar{A})} \\
& =\frac{1-0.7}{0.4}=0.75 .
\end{aligned}$$
Hence, statement (2) is not correct.
