Step-by-Step Solution

The question asks for the value of \(P(S|E)\), which is the probability of the sample space S occurring given that event E has occurred.

By the definition of conditional probability, \(P(S|E) = \frac{P(S \cap E)}{P(E)}\)

Since E is an event in the sample space S, \(S \cap E = E\). Therefore, \(P(S \cap E) = P(E)\)

Substituting this into the conditional probability formula, we get \(P(S|E) = \frac{P(E)}{P(E)} = 1\)

Correct Answer: 1

The chances of P, Q and R getting selected as CEO of a company are in the ratio 4: 1: 2 respectively. The probabilities for the company to increase its profits from the previous year under the new CEO, P, Q or R are 0-3, 0-8 and 0.5 respectively. If the company increased the profits from the previous year, find the probability that it is due to the appointment of R as CEO.

In a school, the probability of holding a debate competition is $\frac{1}{3}$ and that of a quiz competition is $\frac{2}{3}$. In the two participating teams, A has 4 girls and 6 boys and B has 7 girls and 3 boys. If a debate competition is held, the students are selected from team A and for the quiz competition they are selected from team B. If only two students are to be chosen from the teams, then find the probability that one will be a girl and the other a boy.
