Given that E and F are events such that
`P(E)=0.6,P(F)=0.3` and `P(E nn F)=0.2`.
then (i) `P(E//F)=(2)/(3)` (ii) `P(F//E)=(2)/(3)`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the conditional probabilities \( P(E|F) \) and \( P(F|E) \) using the given probabilities. **Given:** - \( P(E) = 0.6 \) - \( P(F) = 0.3 \) - \( P(E \cap F) = 0.2 \) **Step 1: Calculate \( P(E|F) \)** The formula for conditional probability is: \[ P(E|F) = \frac{P(E \cap F)}{P(F)} \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(E|F) = \frac{P(E \cap F)}{P(F)} = \frac{0.2}{0.3} \] Calculating this gives: \[ P(E|F) = \frac{2}{3} \] **Step 2: Calculate \( P(F|E) \)** Using the same formula for conditional probability: \[ P(F|E) = \frac{P(E \cap F)}{P(E)} \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(F|E) = \frac{P(E \cap F)}{P(E)} = \frac{0.2}{0.6} \] Calculating this gives: \[ P(F|E) = \frac{1}{3} \] **Conclusion:** - \( P(E|F) = \frac{2}{3} \) (True) - \( P(F|E) = \frac{1}{3} \) (False) Thus, the first statement \( P(E|F) = \frac{2}{3} \) is true, and the second statement \( P(F|E) = \frac{2}{3} \) is false.
