MCQ

Let $A$ and $B$ be two events. If $\text{P(A)}=0.2,\text{P(B)}=0.4,\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=0.6$ then $P(A|B)$ is equal to

A
$0.8$
B
$0.5$
C
$0.3$
✓
$0$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$0$

$\text{P(A)}=0.2,\text{P(B)}=0.4,\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=0.6$
$\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{\text{A}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{P(B)}}$
$\Rightarrow \text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{\text{P(A)}+\text{P(B)}-\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})}{\text{P(B)}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{0.2+0.4-0.6}{\text{P(B)}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=0$
