Question

Let $E^{c}$ denote the complement of an event $E$ . Let $E_{1}, E_{2}$ and $E_{3}$ be any pairwise independent events with $P (E_{1}) > 0$ and $P (E_{1} \cap E_{2} \cap E_{3}) = 0$ . Then $P (\frac{E_{2}^{c} \cap E_{3}^{c}}{E_{1}})$ is equal to:

P (E_{3}^{c}) - P (E_{2}^{c})

Solution

The correct option is C $P (E_{3}^{c}) - P (E_{2})$
$P (\frac{E_{2}^{c} \cap E_{3}^{c}}{E_{1}}) = \frac{P (E_{2}^{c} \cap E_{3}^{c} \cap E_{1})}{P (E_{1})}$

$= \frac{P (E_{1}) - P (E_{1} \cap E_{2}) - P (E_{1} \cap E_{3}) + P (E_{1} \cap E_{2} \cap E_{3})}{P (E_{1})}$

$= \frac{P (E_{1}) - P (E_{1}) . P (E_{2}) - P (E_{1}) . P (E_{3}) + 0}{P (E_{1})} = 1 - P (E_{2}) - P (E_{3})$

$= P (E_{3}^{c}) - P (E_{2})$
