If A and B are two events such that P(A)...

If A and B are two events such that `P(A)=1/2, P(AuuB)=3/5` and `P(B)=p`, then find the value of `p` when:
(i) A and B are mutually exclusive
(ii) A and B are independent events.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`P(A)=1 / 2, P(B)=p`

` P(AUB)=3 / 5`

i) Mutually exclusive `P(A cap B)=0`

` P(A U B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A cap B)`

` 3 / 5=1 / 2+{p}-{O}`

` p=1 / 10`

ii)Independent events `P(A cap B)=P(A)^{*} P(B)=p / 2`

` P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A cap B)`
