If A and B are two events such that P(A|B) = p, P(A) = p, P(B) = `1/3` and P(A ∪ B) = `5/9`, then p = ______.
उत्तर
If A and B are two events such that P(A|B) = p, P(A) = p, P(B) = `1/3` and P(A ∪ B) = `5/9`, then p = `1/3`.
Explanation:
Given that, P(A) = p
P(B) = `1/3`
And P(A ∪ B) = `5/9`
P(A|B) = `("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("B"))` = p
⇒ P(A ∩ B) = p
P(B) = `"p"*1/3` and P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
`5/9 = "p" + 1/3 - "p"/3`
⇒ `5/9 - 1/3 = (2"p")/3`
⇒ `2/9 = (2"p")/3`
⇒ p = `1/3`

For a loaded die, the probabilities of outcomes are given as under:
P(1) = P(2) = 0.2, P(3) = P(5) = P(6) = 0.1 and P(4) = 0.3. The die is thrown two times. Let A and B be the events, ‘same number each time’, and ‘a total score is 10 or more’, respectively. Determine whether or not A and B are independent.
