A

`P(A|B) lt (L+M-1)/(M)`

B

`P(A|B) gt (L+M-1)/(M)`

C

`P(A|B) ge (L+M-1)/(M)`

D

`P(A|B) =(L+M-1)/(M)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the probabilities of events A and B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information:** We have: - \( P(A) = L \) - \( P(B) = M \) - \( P(A \cup B) = 1 \) 2. **Using the Formula for Union of Two Events:** The formula for the probability of the union of two events is: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values, we get: \[ 1 = L + M - P(A \cap B) \] 3. **Rearranging the Equation:** Rearranging the equation to find \( P(A \cap B) \): \[ P(A \cap B) = L + M - 1 \] 4. **Analyzing the Probability:** Since probabilities cannot be negative, we must have: \[ L + M - 1 \geq 0 \] This implies: \[ L + M \geq 1 \] 5. **Conclusion:** Therefore, the correct conclusion based on the information provided is: \[ L + M \geq 1 \]
