Class 12 Maths · Probability · Short Answer #50

Given P(E)=0.8, P(F)=0.7 and P(E∩F)=0.6, find P(E′|F′).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 1/3
  1. P(E′∩F′)=1−P(E∪F).
  2. The union has probability 0.8+0.7−0.6=0.9, so the intersection of complements has probability 0.1. Also P(F′)=0.3.
  3. Thus P(E′|F′)=0.1/0.3=1/3.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] P(E′∩F′)=1−P(E∪F).
  • [1 mark] The union has probability 0.8+0.7−0.6=0.9, so the intersection of complements has probability 0.1. Also P(F′)=0.3.
  • [0.5 marks] Thus P(E′|F′)=0.1/0.3=1/3.
