The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find \( P(E|F) \) and \( P(F|E) \) using the given probabilities. ### Step 1: Find \( P(E|F) \) We use the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(E|F) = \frac{P(E \cap F)}{P(F)} \] From the problem, we know: - \( P(E \cap F) = 0.2 \) - \( P(F) = 0.3 \) Substituting these values into the formula: \[ P(E|F) = \frac{0.2}{0.3} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 2: Find \( P(F|E) \) We again use the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(F|E) = \frac{P(F \cap E)}{P(E)} \] Since \( P(F \cap E) = P(E \cap F) \), we can use the same value: - \( P(E \cap F) = 0.2 \) - \( P(E) = 0.6 \) Substituting these values into the formula: \[ P(F|E) = \frac{0.2}{0.6} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Final Answers: - \( P(E|F) = \frac{2}{3} \) - \( P(F|E) = \frac{1}{3} \) ---
