S1 doubt

[crash250]

guys..suppose if a question says : .............it is twice as likely to be "S" as "L"

its means 2S=L or 2L=S which one???

its somewhat confusing to me

 

[ahmed t]

2L=S

 

[ahmed t]

so if it is probability
then P(L)=1/3
and P(S)=2/3

THANKS

 

[ahmed t]

welcome

 

[crash250]

but why p(L)= 1/3 ???

 

[ahmed t]

well if 2L=S
and total probability is 1
so that will make
L+S=1
substituting S for 2L
L+2L=1
L=1/3

yes yes ..iam sorry i always forget this part
i dont know wht to tell u ahmed
