If \(A\) is any event associated with sample space and If \(E_1, E_2, E_3\) are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events. Then which of the following are true?
(A) \(P(A)=P\left(E_1\right) P\left(E_1 \mid A\right)+P\left(E_2\right) P\left(E_2 \mid A\right)+P\left(E_3\right) P\left(E_3 \mid A\right)\)
(B) \(P(A)=P\left(A \mid E_1\right) P\left(E_1\right)+P\left(A \mid E_2\right) P\left(E_2\right)+P\left(A \mid E_3\right) P\left(E_3\right)\)
(C) \(P\left(E_i \mid A\right)=\frac{P\left(A \mid E_i\right) P\left(E_i\right)}{\sum_{i=1}^3 P\left(A \mid E_i\right) P\left(E_i\right)}, i=1,2,3\)
(D) \(P\left(A \mid E_i\right)=\frac{P\left(E_i \mid A\right) P\left(E_i\right)}{\sum_{i=1}^3 P\left(E_i \mid A\right) P\left(E_i\right)}, i=1,2,3\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A) and (C) only
  2. B (A) and (D) only
  3. C (B) and (D) only
  4. D (B) and (C) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (B) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B) is the Law of Total Probability: \(P(A) = \sum_{i=1}^3 P(A \mid E_i) P(E_i)\). (C) is Bayes' Theorem: \(P(E_i \mid A) = \frac{P(A \mid E_i) P(E_i)}{\sum_{j=1}^3 P(A \mid E_j) P(E_j)}\). (A) and (D) are incorrect. Thus, (B) and (C) are true.
