Let E1 and E2 be two events such that the conditional probabilities , and . Then :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Use the definitions of conditional probability
Given:
Now, So,
Also, So,
- Find the remaining basic probabilities
with Hence,
Also,
- Check each option
Option A
while Since A is false.
Option B
while Since B is false.
Option C
and Thus, So C is true.
Option D
while Since D is false.
- Conclusion
The only correct option is:
This matches the stored correct answer.
