To determine the correct options, we analyze the given information step-by-step using the basic laws of probability and conditional probability.
1. Given Data:
P(X)=31
P(X∣Y)=21
P(Y∣X)=52
2. Calculating P(X∩Y):
By definition of conditional probability:
P(Y∣X)=P(X)P(X∩Y)
Substitute the given values into the formula:
52=31P(X∩Y)
⟹P(X∩Y)=52×31=152
Thus, Option (C), which states P(X∩Y)=51, is incorrect.
3. Calculating P(Y):
By definition of P(X∣Y):
P(X∣Y)=P(Y)P(X∩Y)
Substitute the known values:
21=P(Y)152
⟹P(Y)=2×152=154
Thus, Option (A) is correct.
4. Calculating P(X′∣Y):
Since P(X′∣Y)+P(X∣Y)=1:
P(X′∣Y)=1−P(X∣Y)=1−21=21
Thus, Option (B) is correct.
5. Calculating P(X∪Y):
Using the addition theorem of probability:
P(X∪Y)=P(X)+P(Y)−P(X∩Y)
Substitute the calculated values:
P(X∪Y)=31+154−152
P(X∪Y)=155+154−152=157
Since 157=52, Option (D) is incorrect.
Conclusion:
The correct options are A and B.
