Mother father and son line up at random ...

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

The sample space for Mother`(M)`, Father`(F)`, and Son`(S)` lining up at random for a family picture is,
`S={(MFS),(MSF),(FMS),(FSM),(SFM),(SMF)}`
Then, `n(S)=6`
It is given that `E` stands for "son standing on one end", i.e.,
`E={(SMF),(SFM),(MFS),(FMS)}`
Also, given that `F` stands for "father standing in the middle", i.e.,
`F={(MFS),(SFM)}`
Then, `n(F)=2`
