Question

Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
You are given that A and B are two events such that $\text{P}(\text{B})=\frac{3}{5},\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{4}{5},$ then P(A) equals:

$\frac{3}{10}$
$\frac{1}{5}$
$\frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{3}{5}$

✓

Answer

$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution:

We have, $\text{P}(\text{B})=\frac{3}{5},\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{4}{5}$

$\therefore\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)\cdot\text{P}(\text{B})$

$=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3}{10}$

Now $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\text{P}({\text{A}})+\text{P}({\text{B}})\cdot\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})$

$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{5}=\text{P}(\text{A})+\frac{3}{5}-\frac{3}{10}$

$\therefore\text{P}(\text{A})=\frac{4}{5}-\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{10}=\frac{1}{2}$

Which of the following statements about an LP problem and its dual is false?

If the primal and the dual both have optimal solutions, the objective function values for both problems are equal at the optimum.
If one of the variables in the primal has unrestricted sign, the corresponding constraint in the dual is satisfied with equality.
If the primal has an optimal solution, so has the dual.
The dual problem might have an optimal solution, even though the primal has no (bounded) optimum.
