Question
If (1+4p)4,(1−p)2,and (1−2p)2 are the probabilities of three mutually exclusive events , then the value of p is
Answer: Option A
:
A
1+4p4,1−p2,1−2p2 are the probabilities of three mutually exclusive events.
∴0≤1+4pp≤1,0≤1−p2≤1
0≤1−2p2≤1and0≤(1+4p4)+(1−p2)+1−2p2≤1
∴−14≤p≤341−≤p≤1,12≤p≤12andp≤52
⇒p=12
