Transcribed Image Text:Suppose we have a sample space S and three events A, B, and C such that
S = AUBUC and ANB = AnC= Bnc =0
and an event E,
Suppose we have the following results:
P(A) = 1/4
P(C) = 1/2
P(퍼A) =1
P(E|B) = 0
P(E C) = 1/2
What is P(E) ?
Write your answer as a single fraction of integers. For example, if the answer were 17/20 then enter 17/20 with no spaces or other symbols. You may reduce the fraction by
cancelling factors common to the numerator and denominator but you do not need to do this.
