If \(A\) and \(B\) be independent events with \(P(A)=\frac{1}{3}\) and \(P(B)=\frac{2}{7}\), then the value of \(P\left(\frac{A}{B^C}\right)\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{7}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{21}\)
  4. D \(\frac{5}{21}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(P(A)=\frac{1}{3}, P(B)=\frac{2}{7}\) \(P\left(A / B^{\prime}\right)=\frac{P\left(A \cap B^{\prime}\right)}{P\left(B^{\prime}\right)}=\frac{P(A)-P(A \cap B)}{1-P(B)}\) \(=\frac{P(A)-P(A) P(B)}{1-P(B)}\) \([\because A\) and \(B\) are independent events \(]\)…
