Question 80 of 89

Q.If two events A and B are such that P(Aˉ)=310P(\bar A)=\dfrac{3}{10} and P(A∩Bˉ)=12P(A\cap\bar B)=\dfrac{1}{2} then P(A∩B)P(A\cap B) is:

(a) 14\dfrac{1}{4}
(b) 12\dfrac{1}{2}
(c) 15\dfrac{1}{5}
(d) 13\dfrac{1}{3}

P(A∩B)=15P(A\cap B)=\dfrac15.

Since P(Aˉ)=310P(\bar A)=\dfrac{3}{10}, we get P(A)=1−310=710P(A)=1-\dfrac{3}{10}=\dfrac{7}{10}.

Event A splits into the disjoint parts A∩BA\cap B and A∩BˉA\cap\bar B, so

P(A)=P(A∩B)+P(A∩Bˉ).P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap\bar B).

Given P(A∩Bˉ)=12P(A\cap\bar B)=\dfrac12: …
