Statistics And Probability Question 206

Question: For two events A and B, if $ P(A)=P( \frac{A}{B} )=\frac{1}{4} $ and $ P,( \frac{B}{A} )=\frac{1}{2}, $ then

Options:

A) A and B are independent

B) $ P,( \frac{{{A}’}}{B} )=\frac{3}{4} $

C) $ P,( \frac{{{B}’}}{{{A}’}} )=\frac{1}{2} $

D) All of the above

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  •                 $ A,B $  are independent as  $ P(A)=P( \frac{A}{B} ) $              $ P( \frac{{{A}'}}{B} )=1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4} $  as  $ A,B $  are independent             
    

$ \Rightarrow {A}’,,B $ are independent. $ P( \frac{{{B}’}}{{{A}’}} )=P({B}’)=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}. $
