  1. A PY=415
  2. B P X ¯ | Y=12
  3. C PXY=15
  4. D PXY=25
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) P X ¯ | Y=12

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using formula P| Y= P( XY ) P( Y )  and P| X= P( YX ) P( X )
PX=13;PXYPY=12;PYXPX=25
From this information, we get
PXY=215;PY=415
Using formula P(XY)=P(X)+P(Y)P(XY)
   PXY=13+415-215=715
P X ¯ | Y=PX-YPY=PY-PXYPY
     P X ¯ | Y=1-215415=12
