MCQ
Let $A$ and $E$ be any two events with positive probabilities:
Statement $- 1$: $P\left( {E/A} \right) \geq P\left( {A/E} \right)P\left( E \right)$
Statement $-2$ : $P\left( {A/E} \right) \geq P\left( {A \cap E} \right)$
  • Both the statements are true
  • B
    Both the statements are false
  • C
    Statement $-1$ is true, Statement $- 2$ is false
  • D
    Statement $-1$ is false, Statement $-2$ is true

Answer

Correct option: A.
Both the statements are true
a
Let $A$ and $E$ be any two events with positive probabilities.

Consider statement-$1$:

$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} / \mathrm{A}) \geq \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} / \mathrm{E}) \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})$

$\mathrm{LHS}: \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} / \mathrm{A})=\begin{array}{c}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} \cap \mathrm{A})} \\ {\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})}\end{array}$      ......$(1)$

$\mathrm{RHS}: \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} / \mathrm{E}) \cdot \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})=\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} \cap \mathrm{A})}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})}-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})$

$=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{E})$       .......$(2)$

Clearly, from $( 1)$ and $( 2)$

we have

$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} / \mathrm{A}) \geq \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{E})$

Thus, statement - $1$ is true.

Similarly, statement-$2$ is also true.
