Mother, father and son line up at random for a family picture. If `A` and `B` are two events given by `A=` Son on one end, `B=` Father in the middle, find `P(A/B)` and `P(B/A)dot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A shows Son on one end

B shows Father in the middle

` S={M F S, M S F, F S M, F M S, S M F, S F M}`

` A={M F S, F M S, S M F, S F M}`

` B={M F S, S F M}`

Then ,

` A cap B={M F S, S F M}`

` (i) P(A / B)=frac{n(A cap B)}{n(B)}=frac{2}{2}=1`
