उत्तर
Given P(A) = `3/4`
P(B) = `2/5`
A ∪ B = S
n(A ∪ B) = n(S)
P(A ∪ B) = `("n"("A" ∪ "B"))/("n"("S"))`
P(A ∪ B) = `("n"("S"))/("n"("S"))` = 1
P(A/B) = `("n"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("B"))`
= `("P"("A") + "P"("B") - "P"("A" ∪ "B"))/("P"("B"))`
= `(3/4 + 28/5 - 1)/(2/5)`
= `((15 + 8 - 20)/20)/(2/5)`
= `(23 - 20)/20 xx 5/2`
P(A/B) = `3/20 xx 5/2`
= `3/8`

Three machines E1, E2, E3 in a certain factory produced 50%, 25% and 25%, respectively, of the total daily output of electric tubes. It is known that 4% of the tubes produced one each of machines E1 and E2 are defective, and that 5% of those produced on E3 are defective. If one tube is picked up at random from a day’s production, calculate the probability that it is defective.
