If $\mathrm{E}$ and $\mathrm{F}$ are events such that $P(\bar{F})=0.7$ and $P(E \cap F)=0.2$, then $\mathrm{P}(E \mid F)$ is
- $2 / 3$
- $1 / 3$
- $3 / 4$
- $1 / 4$
Solution
$\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{F}})=0.7$ and $\mathrm{PE} \mathrm{nF})=0.2$
$P\left(\frac{E}{F}\right)=\frac{P(E n F)}{P(F)}$
Here, $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{F})=1-\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{F}})$
$
=1-0.7=0.3
$
$
P\left(\frac{E}{F}\right)=\frac{0.2}{0.3}=\frac{2}{3}
