If A and B are two events such that P(A)≠0P(A) \neq 0, P(B)≠1P(B) \neq 1 and P(Aˉ/Bˉ)=1−kP(Bˉ)P(\bar{A}/\bar{B}) = \frac{1-k}{P(\bar{B})}, then the value of kk is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

P(Aˉ/Bˉ)=P(Aˉ∩Bˉ)P(Bˉ)=P(A∪B‾)P(Bˉ)=1−P(A∪B)P(Bˉ)P(\bar{A}/\bar{B}) = \frac{P(\bar{A}\cap\bar{B})}{P(\bar{B})} = \frac{P(\overline{A\cup B})}{P(\bar{B})} = \frac{1-P(A\cup B)}{P(\bar{B})}.

Comparing with the given form 1−kP(Bˉ)\frac{1-k}{P(\bar{B})} gives k=P(A∪B)k = P(A\cup B).
