Question

For two events A and B, P(A)=13,P(B)=14 and P(AB)=12. find P(AB)=?\text{For two events A and B, } {P(A)=\frac{1}{3}}, {P(B)=\frac{1}{4}} \text{ and } {P(A \cup B) = \frac{1}{2}}. \ \text{find} \ P( \frac {A}{B})=?

A.

12\frac{1}{2}​​

B.

14\frac{1}{4}​​

C.

1

D.

13\frac{1}{3}​​

Correct option is D

Given: 

P(A)=13,P(B)=14,P(AB)=12P(A) = \frac{1}{3}, \quad P(B) = \frac{1}{4}, \quad P(A \cup B) = \frac{1}{2}​ 

Formula Used:

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB) P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)​ 

P(AB)=P(AB)P(B)P(A | B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} 

Solution: 

P(AB)=13+1412P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} 

=412+312612= \frac{4}{12} + \frac{3}{12} - \frac{6}{12}   = 112\frac1{12} 

Then; 

P(AB)P(A | B)  

=P(AB)P(B)=11214= \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} = \frac{\frac{1}{12}}{\frac{1}{4}} 

=112×41=412=13= \frac{1}{12} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}
