\(A\) and \(B\) are two independent events. The probability that both events \(A\) and \(B\) occur is \(\frac{1}{6}\) and the probability that neither of them occur is \(\frac{1}{3}\). If \(P(A)=x, P(B)=y\) then the value of \(x+y\) is.
- A \(\frac{1}{6}\)
- B \(\frac{5}{6}\)
- C \(\frac{2}{6}\)
- D \(\frac{4}{6}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{5}{6}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(xy = \frac{1}{6}\) \((1-x)(1-y) = \frac{1}{3}\) \(1 - (x+y) + xy = \frac{1}{3}\) \(1 - (x+y) + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{3}\) \(x+y = 1 + \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{3}\) \(x+y = \frac{6+1-2}{6}\) \(x+y = \frac{5}{6}\)
