Question
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.

If $\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\frac{7}{10},$ and $\text{P}(\text{B})=\frac{17}{20},$ then $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)$ equas:

  1. $\frac{14}{17}$

  2. $\frac{17}{20}$

  3. $\frac{7}{8}$

  4. $\frac{1}{8}$

Answer

  1. $\frac{14}{17}$

Solution:

Here, $\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\frac{7}{10}$ and $\text{P}(\text{B})=\frac{17}{20}$

$\therefore\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{P}(\text{B})}$

$=\frac{\frac{7}{10}}{\frac{17}{20}}=\frac{14}{17}$
