Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 / 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{F}})=0.7\) and \(\mathrm{PE} \mathrm{nF})=0.2\) \(P\left(\frac{E}{F}\right)=\frac{P(E n F)}{P(F)}\) Here, \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{F})=1-\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{F}})\) \[ =1-0.7=0.3 \] \[ P\left(\frac{E}{F}\right)=\frac{0.2}{0.3}=\frac{2}{3} \]
