Given the three event A,B and C which are partitioned of the sample space such thatP(A)=3/4 ,P(B)=3P(C)Find P(B)
Since the three events are partitioned then:P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=1∴ 3/4 P(A)+P(B)+3/12 P(B)=1∴ 2 P(B)=1→P(B)=1/2 And P(A)=3/4 (1/2)=3/8 ,P(C)=1/4 (1/2)=1/8

∴ 3/4 P(A)+P(B)+3/12 P(B)=1
∴ 2 P(B)=1→P(B)=1/2
And P(A)=3/4 (1/2)=3/8 ,P(C)=1/4 (1/2)=1/8
