If A and B are two events such that `P(A)=(4)/(7), P(AnnB)=(3)/(28)` and the conditional probability `P((A)/(A^(c )uuB^(c )))` (where `A^(c )` denotes the compliment of the event A) is equal to `lambda`, then the value of `(26)/(lambda)` is equal to

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the conditional probability \( P\left(A \mid (A^c \cup B^c)\right) \) and then determine the value of \( \frac{26}{\lambda} \). ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We have: - \( P(A) = \frac{4}{7} \) - \( P(A \cap B) = \frac{3}{28} \) We need to find \( P\left(A \mid (A^c \cup B^c)\right) \). ### Step 2: Use the Definition of Conditional Probability The conditional probability can be expressed as: \[ P(A \mid (A^c \cup B^c)) = \frac{P(A \cap (A^c \cup B^c))}{P(A^c \cup B^c)} \] ### Step 3: Simplify \( A \cap (A^c \cup B^c) \) Using the distributive property of sets, we have: \[ A \cap (A^c \cup B^c) = (A \cap A^c) \cup (A \cap B^c) = \emptyset \cup (A \cap B^c) = A \cap B^c \] So, we can rewrite the conditional probability as: \[ P(A \mid (A^c \cup B^c)) = \frac{P(A \cap B^c)}{P(A^c \cup B^c)} \] ### Step 4: Find \( P(A \cap B^c) \) Using the formula for the complement: \[ P(A \cap B^c) = P(A) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A \cap B^c) = \frac{4}{7} - \frac{3}{28} \] To perform this subtraction, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 7 and 28 is 28: \[ P(A \cap B^c) = \frac{16}{28} - \frac{3}{28} = \frac{13}{28} \] ### Step 5: Find \( P(A^c \cup B^c) \) Using the formula for the union of complements: \[ P(A^c \cup B^c) = 1 - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known value: \[ P(A^c \cup B^c) = 1 - \frac{3}{28} = \frac{28 - 3}{28} = \frac{25}{28} \] ### Step 6: Substitute Back into the Conditional Probability Now we can substitute back into our expression for the conditional probability: \[ P(A \mid (A^c \cup B^c)) = \frac{P(A \cap B^c)}{P(A^c \cup B^c)} = \frac{\frac{13}{28}}{\frac{25}{28}} = \frac{13}{25} \] ### Step 7: Set \( \lambda \) Equal to the Result From the problem, we have \( \lambda = \frac{13}{25} \). ### Step 8: Calculate \( \frac{26}{\lambda} \) Now we need to find: \[ \frac{26}{\lambda} = \frac{26}{\frac{13}{25}} = 26 \times \frac{25}{13} = 2 \times 25 = 50 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( \frac{26}{\lambda} \) is \( 50 \).
