Vedclass · Answer

(C) Given: $P(E_1) = \frac{1}{4}$, $P(E_2 / E_1) = \frac{1}{2}$, $P(E_1 / E_2) = \frac{1}{4}$.Step $1$: Find $P(E_1 \cap E_2)$.$P(E_2 / E_1) = \frac{P(E_1 \cap E_2)}{P(E_1)} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} = \frac{P(E_1 \cap E_2)}{1/4} \Rightarrow P(E_1 \cap E_2) = \frac{1}{8}$.Step $2$: Find $P(E_2)$.$P(E_1 / E_2) = \frac{P(E_1 \cap E_2)}{P(E_2)} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1/8}{P(E_2)} \Rightarrow P(E_2) = \frac{1/8}{1/4} = \frac{1}{2}$. (Matches $iv$)Step $3$: Find $P(E_1 \cup E_2)$.$P(E_1 \cup E_2) = P(E_1) + P(E_2) - P(E_1 \cap E_2) = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{2+4-1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$. (Matches $ii$)Step $4$: Find $P(\bar{E}_1 / \bar{E}_2)$.$P(\bar{E}_1 / \bar{E}_2) = \frac{P(\bar{E}_1 \cap \bar{E}_2)}{P(\bar{E}_2)} = \frac{1 - P(E_1 \cup E_2)}{1 - P(E_2)} = \frac{1 - 5/8}{1 - 1/2} = \frac{3/8}{1/2} = \frac{3}{4}$. (Matches $vi$)Step $5$: Find $P(E_1 / \bar{E}_2)$.$P(E_1 / \bar{E}_2) = \frac{P(E_1 \cap \bar{E}_2)}{P(\bar{E}_2)} = \frac{P(E_1) - P(E_1 \cap E_2)}{1 - P(E_2)} = \frac{1/4 - 1/8}{1 - 1/2} = \frac{1/8}{1/2} = \frac{1}{4}$. (Matches $i$)Thus, the correct matching is $(A)$-$iv$, $(B)$-$ii$, $(C)$-$vi$, $(D)$-$i$.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(A)$ $P(E_2)$	$(i)$ $1/4$
$(B)$ $P(E_1 \cup E_2)$	$(ii)$ $5/8$
$(C)$ $P(\bar{E}_1 / \bar{E}_2)$	$(iii)$ $1/8$
$(D)$ $P(E_1 / \bar{E}_2)$	$(iv)$ $1/2$
	$(v)$ $3/8$
	$(vi)$ $3/4$
