The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( P(B | A \cup B') \) given the probabilities \( P(A') = 0.3 \), \( P(B) = 0.4 \), and \( P(A \cap B') = 0.5 \). ### Step 1: Calculate \( P(A) \) and \( P(B') \) Since \( P(A') = 0.3 \), we can find \( P(A) \): \[ P(A) = 1 - P(A') = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 \] Next, we calculate \( P(B') \): \[ P(B') = 1 - P(B) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6 \] ### Step 2: Calculate \( P(A \cup B') \) Using the formula for the probability of the union of two events: \[ P(A \cup B') = P(A) + P(B') - P(A \cap B') \] We already have \( P(A) = 0.7 \), \( P(B') = 0.6 \), and \( P(A \cap B') = 0.5 \). Now we can substitute these values: \[ P(A \cup B') = 0.7 + 0.6 - 0.5 = 0.8 \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( P(B \cap (A \cup B')) \) Using the formula for the intersection of two events: \[ P(B \cap (A \cup B')) = P(B \cap A) + P(B \cap B') \] We know that: \[ P(B \cap A) = P(B) - P(B \cap A') \quad \text{(since } A' \text{ and } A \text{ are complements)} \] We need to find \( P(B \cap A') \). We can use the fact that: \[ P(A \cap B') + P(A' \cap B) + P(A \cap B) + P(A' \cap B') = 1 \] From the given information, we have: \[ P(A \cap B') = 0.5, \quad P(B) = 0.4 \quad \text{(which includes } P(A \cap B) + P(A' \cap B)\text{)} \] Thus: \[ P(A' \cap B) = P(B) - P(A \cap B) = 0.4 - P(A \cap B) \] Now we need to find \( P(A \cap B) \). We can use the total probability: \[ P(A \cap B) + P(A' \cap B) + P(A \cap B') + P(A' \cap B') = 1 \] Substituting known values: \[ P(A \cap B) + (0.4 - P(A \cap B)) + 0.5 + P(A' \cap B') = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 0.5 + P(A' \cap B') = 1 \implies P(A' \cap B') = 0.5 \] Thus, we can find \( P(A' \cap B) \): \[ P(A' \cap B) = 0.4 - P(A \cap B) \] Now we can find \( P(B \cap (A \cup B')) \): \[ P(B \cap (A \cup B')) = P(B) = 0.4 \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( P(B | A \cup B') \) Now we can use the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(B | A \cup B') = \frac{P(B \cap (A \cup B'))}{P(A \cup B')} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ P(B | A \cup B') = \frac{0.4}{0.8} = 0.5 \] ### Final Answer \[ P(B | A \cup B') = 0.5 \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( P(B | A \cup B') \) given the probabilities \( P(A') = 0.3 \), \( P(B) = 0.4 \), and \( P(A \cap B') = 0.5 \). ### Step 1: Calculate \( P(A) \) and \( P(B') \) Since \( P(A') = 0.3 \), we can find \( P(A) \): \[ P(A) = 1 - P(A') = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 \] ...
