Correct Answer - C
A: car met with an accident
`B_(1):` driver was alcoholic, `P(B_(1))=1//5`
`B_(2):` driver was sober, `P(B_(2))=4//5`
`P(A//B_(1))=0.001,P(A//B_(2))=0.0001`
`P(B_(1)//A)((0.2)(0.001))/((0.2)(0.001)+(0.8)(0.0001))=5//7`

The probability that atleast one of the two events A and B occurs is 0.6. If A and B occur simultaneously with probability 0.3, evaluate `P(barA)+P(ba

We know that, `AcupB` denotes the occurance of atleast one of A and B and `AcapB` denotes the occurance of both A and B, simuletanously. Thus, `P(AcupB)=0.6and P(AcapB)=0.3` Also, `P(AcupB)=P(A)+P(B)_P(AcapB)`...

The probability of event `A` is `3//4`. The probability of event `B`, given that event `A` occurs is `1//4`. The probability of event `A`, given that

Correct Answer - C `(c )` `P(A)=(3)/(4)`, `P(B//A)=(1)/(4)` `P(A//B)=(2)/(3)` `P(B//A)=(P(BnnA))/(P(A))=(1)/(4)` (given) `:.P(BnnA)=(3)/(4)*(1)/(4)=(3)/(16)` Now `P(A//B)=(P(AnnB))/(P(B))=(2)/(3)`(given) `:.P(B)=(3)/(2)*(3)/(16)=(9)/(32)` `:. P(AuuB)=(3)/(4)+(9)/(32)-(3)/(16)=(24+9-6)/(32)=(27)/(32)` `:. P(A^(C )nnB^(C ))=1-P(AuuB)=1-(27)/(32)=(5)/(32)`
