If \(A, B, C\) are three events of a sample space such that \(P(B)=\frac{3}{2} P(A)\) and \(P(C)=\frac{1}{2} P(B)\) then which of the following is correct?

  1. A \(P(A \cup C)=\frac{7}{13}\) when \(A, B, C\) are exhaustive and mutually exclusive events
  2. B \(\frac{10}{13} \leq P(B \cup C) \leq 1\) when \(A, B, C\) are exclusive events
  3. C \(P(C)=\frac{7}{13}\) when, \(A, B, C\) are exhaustive events
  4. D \(P(A \cup B \cup C)=P(A) P(B) P(C)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(P(A \cup C)=\frac{7}{13}\) when \(A, B, C\) are exhaustive and mutually exclusive events

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(P(B)=x\) Then, \(P(A)=\frac{2}{3} x\) and \(P(C)=\frac{1}{2} x\) Now, if \(A, B, C\) are exhaustive and mutually exclusive, then \(P(A \cup B \cup C)=1\),…
