If \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) are two independent events and \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{3}{5}, \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=\frac{2}{3}\), then \(\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A}^{\prime} \cap \mathrm{B}^{\prime}\right)=\)

  1. A \(\frac{7}{15}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{15}\)
  3. C \(\frac{4}{15}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{15}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2}{15}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A}^{\prime}\right)=1-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A}^{\prime} \cap \mathrm{B}\right)=\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A}^{\prime}\right) \cdot \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})\)
\(=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{5}=\frac{1}{5}\)
