- A \( \frac{7}{8} \)
- B \( \frac{17}{20} \)
- C \( \frac{14}{17} \)
- D \( \frac{1}{8} \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \( \frac{14}{17} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given that, \( P(A \cap B)=\frac{7}{10} \) and \( P(B)=\frac{17}{20} \)
We know that, \( P(A \mid B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \)
\( P(A \mid B)=\frac{\frac{7}{10}}{\frac{17}{20}}=\frac{14}{17} \)
We know that, \( P(A \mid B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \)
\( P(A \mid B)=\frac{\frac{7}{10}}{\frac{17}{20}}=\frac{14}{17} \)
