Let X and Y be two events such that `P(X)=1/3, P(X|Y)=1/2and P(Y|X)=2/5.` Then

A

`P(Y)=(4)/(5)`

B

`P(X'//Y)=(1)/(2)`

C

`P(XcupY)=(2)/(5)`

D

`P(XcapY)=(1)/(5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
P(X) = `(1)/(3)`
`P((X)/(Y)) = P(X nn Y)/(P(Y)) = (1)/(2)`
`P((X)/(Y)) = (P(X nn Y))/(P(X)) = (2)/(5)`
`P(X nn Y) = (2)/(5)`
`P(Y) = (4)/(15)`
`P((X')/(Y)) = (P(Y) - P(X nn Y))/(P(Y)) = ((4)/(15) - (2)/(15))/((4)/(15)) = (1)/(2)`
`P(X nn Y) = (1)/(3) + (4) /(15) - (2)/(15) = (7)/(15) = (7)/(15)`
