Question

If P(AB)=56,P(AB)=13P(A\cup B)=\frac{5}{6}, P(A\cap B)=\frac{1}{3}​, and P(Aˉ)=12P(\bar A)=\frac{1}{2}​ then P(A/B) is equal to

A.

1.00

B.

0.25

C.

0.75

D.

0.50

Correct option is D

Given:
P(AB)=56P(AB)=13P(Aˉ)=12P(A\cup B)=\frac{5}{6}\\P(A\cap B)=\frac{1}{3}\\P(\bar A)=\frac{1}{2}​​
Formula Used:
P(A)=1P(Aˉ)P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)P(A/B)=P(AB)P(B)P(A)=1-P(\bar A)\\P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\P(A/B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}​​
Solution:
P(A)=1256=12+P(B)13P(B)=23P(A)=\frac{1}{2}\\\frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{2}+P(B)-\frac{1}{3}\\P(B)=\frac{2}{3}​​
Therefore,
P(A/B)=1323=12=0.50P(A/B)=\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{1}{2}=0.50​​
The correct answer is (d) 0.50.
