If P(A B)=(5)/(6), P(A B)=(1)/(3) and P(not A)=(1)/(2) , then which...

If P(A∪B)=56,P(A∩B)=13P(A \cup B)=\frac{5}{6}, P(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{3} and P(not⁡A)=12P(\operatorname{not} A)=\frac{1}{2}, then which one of the following is not correct?

Options

  1. AP(B)=23P(B)=\frac{2}{3}
  2. BP(A∩B)=P(B)P(A \cap B)=P(B)
  3. CP(A∪B)>P(A)+P(B)P(A \cup B) > P(A)+P(B)
  4. DP(not⁡AP(\operatorname{not} A and not⁡B)=P(not⁡A)P(not⁡B)\operatorname{not} B)=P(\operatorname{not} A) P(\operatorname{not} B)

Correct answer

C. P(A∪B)>P(A)+P(B)P(A \cup B) > P(A)+P(B)

Step-by-step solution

P(A∪B)=56,P(A∩B)=13,P(A′)=12P(A)=1−P(A′)=1−12=12P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)\begin{aligned} & P(A \cup B)=\frac{5}{6}, P(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{3}, P\left(A^{\prime}\right)=\frac{1}{2} \\ & P(A)=1-P\left(A^{\prime}\right)=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2} \\ & P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \end{aligned}\frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{2}+P(B)-\frac{1}{3}(a)(a)P(B)=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5-3+2}{6}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}(b)(b)P(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3}=P(A) \cdot P(B)\therefore P(A \cap B)=P(A) \cdot P(B)(c)(c)P(A \cup B)=\frac{5}{6}P(A)+P(B)=12+23=76∴P(A∪B)<P(A)+P(B)\begin{aligned} & P(A)+P(B)=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{7}{6} \\ & \therefore P(A \cup B) < P(A)+P(B) \end{aligned}Hence,option(c)isnotcorrect.(d)Hence, option (c) is not correct. (d)P\left(A^{\prime} \cap B^{\prime}\right)=P\left(A^{\prime}\right) \cdot P\left(B^{\prime}\right)1−P(A∪B)=1−56=16and P(A′)⋅P(B′)=(1−P(A))⋅(1−P(B))=(1−12)⋅(1−23)=12⋅13=16\begin{aligned} & 1-P(A \cup B)=1-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{6} \\ & \text{and } P\left(A^{\prime}\right) \cdot P\left(B^{\prime}\right)=(1-P(A)) \cdot(1-P(B)) \\ & =\left(1-\frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot\left(1-\frac{2}{3}\right)=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{6}\end{aligned}Hence,Hence,P \left(A^{\prime} \cap B^{\prime}\right)=P \left(A^{\prime}\right)\cdotP \left(B^{\prime}\right).
