Statement-1: if A and B are two events, ...

Statement-1: if A and B are two events, such that `0 lt P(A),P(B) lt 1,` then `P((A)/(overline(B)))+P((overline(A))/(overline(B)))=(3)/(2)`
Statement-2: If A and B are two events, such that `0 lt P(A), P(B) lt 1,` then
`P(A//B)=(P(AcapB))/(P(B)) and P(overline(B))=P(A capoverline(B))+P(overline(A) cap overline(B))`

A

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true: Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

B

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true: Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1

C

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false

D

Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the two statements provided and determine their validity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze Statement 1** - Statement 1 claims that if \( A \) and \( B \) are two events such that \( 0 < P(A), P(B) < 1 \), then: \[ P(A | \overline{B}) + P(\overline{A} | \overline{B}) = \frac{3}{2} \] **Step 2: Use the Definition of Conditional Probability** - Recall that the conditional probability is defined as: \[ P(A | B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] - Therefore, we can express \( P(A | \overline{B}) \) and \( P(\overline{A} | \overline{B}) \) as: \[ P(A | \overline{B}) = \frac{P(A \cap \overline{B})}{P(\overline{B})} \] \[ P(\overline{A} | \overline{B}) = \frac{P(\overline{A} \cap \overline{B})}{P(\overline{B})} \] **Step 3: Combine the Expressions** - Combining these two expressions gives: \[ P(A | \overline{B}) + P(\overline{A} | \overline{B}) = \frac{P(A \cap \overline{B}) + P(\overline{A} \cap \overline{B})}{P(\overline{B})} \] **Step 4: Simplify the Numerator** - The numerator can be simplified: \[ P(A \cap \overline{B}) + P(\overline{A} \cap \overline{B}) = P(\overline{B}) \quad \text{(since these two events cover all outcomes in } \overline{B}\text{)} \] **Step 5: Substitute Back** - Therefore, we have: \[ P(A | \overline{B}) + P(\overline{A} | \overline{B}) = \frac{P(\overline{B})}{P(\overline{B})} = 1 \] **Conclusion for Statement 1:** - Since we found that \( P(A | \overline{B}) + P(\overline{A} | \overline{B}) = 1 \), Statement 1 is **false** because it claims the sum equals \( \frac{3}{2} \). --- **Step 6: Analyze Statement 2** - Statement 2 states: \[ P(A | B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \quad \text{and} \quad P(\overline{B}) = P(A \cap \overline{B}) + P(\overline{A} \cap \overline{B}) \] **Step 7: Verify Statement 2** - The first part is the definition of conditional probability and is always true. - The second part states that the probability of \( \overline{B} \) can be expressed as the sum of the probabilities of the intersections with \( A \) and \( \overline{A} \), which is also true by the law of total probability. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** - Both parts of Statement 2 are true, thus Statement 2 is **true**. ### Final Answer: - **Statement 1** is **false**. - **Statement 2** is **true**. ---
