Question: If A and B an two events such that $ P,(A\cup B)=\frac{5}{6} $ , $ P,(A\cap B)=\frac{1}{3} $ and $ P,(\bar{B})=\frac{1}{3}, $ then $ P,(A)= $

Options:

A) $ \frac{1}{4} $

B) $ \frac{1}{3} $

C) $ \frac{1}{2} $

D) $ \frac{2}{3} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  •                  $ P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cup B)-P(B) $                                           $ =\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}. $
