Probablity question

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & P(A)=0.5,P(A\cap B)=0.3 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & \normalsize \text{ Is it possible that}\ \large P(B)=0.9 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & a.)\ \normalsize \text{No} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & b.)\ \normalsize \text{Yes} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & c.)\ \normalsize \text{Either}\ (a.)\ \text{or}\ (b.) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & d.)\ \normalsize \text{Can't Say} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

if a and b are independent then p(a and p)= p(a).p(b) 0.3=0.5* p(b) p(b)=0.6 which give us the idea that a and be are not independent

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

what u mean

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

means there should be s conditional case which i'm thinking what it should be xD

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

wwhich option is corect

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

i would rather to say it's possible, if we looked for a condition which would take a property of 3/9 <1 could make p(b)=0.9 then it's accurate :)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

for ma i'd say option b.yes finger crossed xD

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Clearly the maximum probability for event B is 1-0.2 = 0.8 this is achieved only if there are no other possible events

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

hmmm

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so with the given conditions, we have \(P(B)\le 0.8\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

But in book max P(B)=0.6

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the question is not about finding P(B) it is about finding the maximum possible value of P(B)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I think, we can say this much : \(0.3\le P(B)\le 0.8\) idk how your book got 0.6 hmm

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

it gives P(A\(\cap\)B)=P(A)*P(B)

take a screenshot and attach if psble

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

wait
