The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( 9P(\bar{A} | A \cup B) \) given that \( P(B) = \frac{1}{2} \) and \( P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{10} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Known Values:** - \( P(B) = \frac{1}{2} \) - \( P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{10} \) 2. **Use the Independence of Events A and B:** Since A and B are independent events, we can use the formula: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ \frac{1}{10} = P(A) \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] 3. **Solve for \( P(A) \):** Rearranging the equation gives: \[ P(A) = \frac{1}{10} \cdot 2 = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} \] 4. **Calculate \( P(A \cup B) \):** We use the formula for the union of two events: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the values we found: \[ P(A \cup B) = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{10} \] To add these fractions, we need a common denominator (which is 10): \[ P(A \cup B) = \frac{2}{10} + \frac{5}{10} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \] 5. **Calculate \( P(\bar{A}) \):** We know that: \[ P(\bar{A}) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5} \] 6. **Calculate \( P(\bar{A} | A \cup B) \):** Using the definition of conditional probability: \[ P(\bar{A} | A \cup B) = \frac{P(\bar{A} \cap (A \cup B))}{P(A \cup B)} \] Here, \( P(\bar{A} \cap (A \cup B)) \) can be simplified as: \[ P(\bar{A} \cap (A \cup B)) = P(B) - P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{10} \] Converting to a common denominator (10): \[ P(B) - P(A \cap B) = \frac{5}{10} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \] Thus, we have: \[ P(\bar{A} | A \cup B) = \frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\frac{3}{5}} = \frac{2}{3} \] 7. **Calculate \( 9P(\bar{A} | A \cup B) \):** Finally, we compute: \[ 9P(\bar{A} | A \cup B) = 9 \cdot \frac{2}{3} = 6 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( 9P(\bar{A} | A \cup B) \) is \( \boxed{6} \).
