उत्तर
Given A and B are independent.
⇒ P(A ∪ B) = P(A) . P(B)
Here P(A ∪ B) = 0.6 and P(A) = 0.2
To find P(B):
Now, P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
(i.e.,) P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A) . P(B)
(i.e.,) 0.6 = 0.2 + P(B) (1 – 0.2)
P(B) (0.8) = 0.4
⇒ P(B) = `0.4/0.8`
= `4/8`
= `1/2`
= 0.5

Assume that the chances of a patient having a heart attack is 40%. Assuming that a meditation and yoga course reduces the risk of heart attack by 30% and prescription of certain drug reduces its chance by 25%. At a time a patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probabilities. It is given that after going through one of the two options, the patient selected at random suffers a heart attack. Find the probability that the patient followed a course of meditation and yoga. Interpret the result and state which of the above stated methods is more beneficial for the patient.
