Probability 3 Question 27

27. For any two events A and B in a sample space

(1991, 2M)

(a) PABP(A)+P(B)1P(B),P(B)0 is always true

(b) P(AB¯)=P(A)P(AB) does not hold

(c) P(AB)=1P(A¯)P(B¯), if A and B are independent

(d) P(AB)=1P(A¯)P(B¯), if A and B are disjoint

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. We know that,

PAB=P(AB)P(B)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)P(B)

 Since, P(AB)<1P(AB)>1P(A)+P(B)P(AB)>P(A)+P(B)1P(A)+P(B)P(AB)P(B)>P(A)+P(B)1P(B)PAB>P(A)+P(B)1P(B)

Hence, option (a) is correct.

The choice (b) holds only for disjoint i.e. P(AB)=0

Finally, P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)

=P(A)+P(B)P(A)P(B),

if A,B are independent

=11P(A)1P(B)=1P(A¯)P(B¯)

Hence, option (c) is correct, but option (d) is not correct.
