The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given options based on the properties of independent events A and B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Independent Events**: - Since A and B are independent events, we have: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) \] - Also, for independent events, the probability of A given B is: \[ P(A | B) = P(A) \] - Similarly, the probability of A given not B is: \[ P(A | \bar{B}) = P(A) \] 2. **Analyzing Option (a)**: - We need to evaluate \(1 - P(A | B)\): \[ 1 - P(A | B) = 1 - P(A) \] - This does not simplify to a known identity involving both A and B. 3. **Analyzing Option (b)**: - We need to evaluate \(1 - P(A | \bar{B})\): \[ 1 - P(A | \bar{B}) = 1 - P(A) \] - This also does not yield a useful identity. 4. **Analyzing Option (c)**: - We need to evaluate \(\frac{1 - P(A \cup B)}{P(B)}\): - Using the formula for the union of two independent events: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A) \cdot P(B) \] - Thus, we have: \[ 1 - P(A \cup B) = 1 - (P(A) + P(B) - P(A) \cdot P(B)) = 1 - P(A) - P(B) + P(A) \cdot P(B) \] - Dividing by \(P(B)\) does not lead to a simplification that matches any of the options. 5. **Analyzing Option (d)**: - We need to evaluate: \[ \frac{P(A)}{P(B)} + \frac{P(\bar{A})}{P(B)} = 1 \] - Since \(P(\bar{A}) = 1 - P(A)\), we can rewrite it as: \[ \frac{P(A) + (1 - P(A))}{P(B)} = \frac{1}{P(B)} = 1 \] - This is indeed a true statement. ### Conclusion: The correct answer is option (d): \[ \frac{P(A)}{P(B)} + \frac{P(\bar{A})}{P(B)} = 1 \]
