  1. A \(\frac{2}{7}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{35}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{70}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{70}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { } P(E \cup F)=P(E)+P(F)-P(E \cap F) \\ & \Rightarrow 0.5=0.3+P(F)-P(E) \cdot P(F) \\ & \Rightarrow 0.2=P(F)-0.3 P(F) \\ & \Rightarrow P(F)=\frac{2}{7} \end{aligned}\) So,…
