Step-by-Step Solution

Given: \(P(A|B) = P(A'|B)\)

Using the definition of conditional probability, we have:

\(\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} = \frac{P(A' \cap B)}{P(B)}\)

Since \(P(B)\) is in the denominator on both sides, we can multiply both sides by \(P(B)\), assuming \(P(B) \neq 0\):

\(P(A \cap B) = P(A' \cap B)\)

We know that \(A' = \Omega - A\), where \(\Omega\) is the sample space. Therefore, \(A' \cap B = B - (A \cap B)\). So, we can write \(P(A' \cap B) = P(B) - P(A \cap B)\)

Substituting this back into the equation, we get:

\(P(A \cap B) = P(B) - P(A \cap B)\)

Adding \(P(A \cap B)\) to both sides:

\(2 P(A \cap B) = P(B)\)

Dividing both sides by 2:

\(P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{2} P(B)\)

Correct Answer: \(P(A\cap B)=\frac{1}{2}P(B)\)

Out of two bags, bag I contains 3 red and 4 white balls and bag II contains 8 red and 6 white balls. A die is thrown. If it shows a number less than 3 then a ball is drawn at random from bag I, otherwise a ball is drawn at random from bag II. Find the probability that the ball drawn from one of the bags is a red ball.

For the vacancy advertised in the newspaper, 3000 candidates submitted their applications. From the data it was revealed that two third of the total applicants were females and other were males. The selection for the job was done through a written test. The performance of the applicants indicates that the probability of a male getting a distinction in written test is 0.4 and that a female getting a distinction is 0.35. Find the probability that the candidate chosen at random will have a distinction in the written test.
