Question
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
$\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)$ 
is equal to:
  1. $\frac{1}{5}$
  2. $\frac{3}{10}$
  3. $\frac{1}{2}$
  4. $\frac{3}{5}$

Answer

  1. $\frac{3}{5}$

Solution:

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

$=\frac{\text{P}(\text{B})-\text{P}(\text{B}\cap\text{A})}{1-\text{P}(\text{A})}$

$=\frac{\frac{3}{5}-\frac{3}{10}}{1-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{\frac{6-3}{10}}{\frac{1}{2}}$

$=\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{5}$
