The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow the steps outlined in the video transcript, ensuring to clarify each step with detailed explanations. ### Given: - A fair die is rolled. - Events: - \( E = \{1, 3, 5\} \) - \( F = \{2, 3\} \) - \( G = \{2, 3, 4, 5\} \) ### Total Outcomes: When a die is rolled, the total number of outcomes is \( 6 \) (i.e., \( \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\} \)). ### Step 1: Calculate Probabilities of Individual Events 1. **Probability of \( E \)**: \[ P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of elements in } E}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \] 2. **Probability of \( F \)**: \[ P(F) = \frac{\text{Number of elements in } F}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \] 3. **Probability of \( G \)**: \[ P(G) = \frac{\text{Number of elements in } G}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 2: Calculate Intersection of Events 1. **Intersection of \( E \) and \( F \)**: \[ E \cap F = \{3\} \quad \text{(common element)} \] \[ P(E \cap F) = \frac{1}{6} \] 2. **Intersection of \( E \) and \( G \)**: \[ E \cap G = \{3\} \quad \text{(common element)} \] \[ P(E \cap G) = \frac{1}{6} \] 3. **Intersection of \( F \) and \( G \)**: \[ F \cap G = \{2, 3\} \quad \text{(common elements)} \] \[ P(F \cap G) = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 3: Calculate Conditional Probabilities 1. **Calculate \( P(E|F) \)**: \[ P(E|F) = \frac{P(E \cap F)}{P(F)} = \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{1}{2} \] 2. **Calculate \( P(F|E) \)**: \[ P(F|E) = \frac{P(E \cap F)}{P(E)} = \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{1}{3} \] 3. **Calculate \( P(E|G) \)**: \[ P(E|G) = \frac{P(E \cap G)}{P(G)} = \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{4} \] 4. **Calculate \( P(G|E) \)**: \[ P(G|E) = \frac{P(E \cap G)}{P(E)} = \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 4: Calculate Union and Intersection Probabilities 1. **Calculate \( P(E \cup F | G) \)**: - First, find \( E \cup F = \{1, 2, 3, 5\} \). - Intersection with \( G \): \[ E \cup F \cap G = \{2, 3\} \quad \text{(common elements)} \] \[ P(E \cup F \cap G) = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \] \[ P(E \cup F | G) = \frac{P(E \cup F \cap G)}{P(G)} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{1}{2} \] 2. **Calculate \( P(E \cap F | G) \)**: \[ P(E \cap F | G) = \frac{P(E \cap F \cap G)}{P(G)} = \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{4} \] ### Final Answers: (i) \( P(E|F) = \frac{1}{2}, P(F|E) = \frac{1}{3} \) (ii) \( P(E|G) = \frac{1}{4}, P(G|E) = \frac{1}{3} \) (iii) \( P(E \cup F | G) = \frac{1}{2}, P(E \cap F | G) = \frac{1}{4} \)
