The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the given probabilities and the formulas for conditional probability, intersection, and union of events. ### Given: - \( P(A) = 0.4 \) - \( P(B) = 0.8 \) - \( P(B|A) = 0.6 \) ### Step 1: Find \( P(A \cap B) \) Using the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] We can rearrange this to find \( P(A \cap B) \): \[ P(A \cap B) = P(B|A) \times P(A) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.6 \times 0.4 = 0.24 \] ### Step 2: Find \( P(A \cup B) \) Using the formula for the union of two events: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.4 + 0.8 - 0.24 = 1.2 - 0.24 = 0.96 \] ### Step 3: Find \( P(A|B) \) Using the formula for conditional probability again: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{0.24}{0.8} = 0.3 \] ### Summary of Results: 1. \( P(A \cap B) = 0.24 \) 2. \( P(A \cup B) = 0.96 \) 3. \( P(A|B) = 0.3 \)

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the given probabilities and the formulas for conditional probability, intersection, and union of events. ### Given: - \( P(A) = 0.4 \) - \( P(B) = 0.8 \) - \( P(B|A) = 0.6 \) ### Step 1: Find \( P(A \cap B) \) ...
