The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find \( P(A|B) \) given the probabilities of events A and B, as well as the probability of their union. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Given Values**: - \( P(A) = 0.2 \) - \( P(B) = 0.4 \) - \( P(A \cup B) = 0.6 \) 2. **Using the Formula for Union of Two Events**: The formula for the probability of the union of two events is: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values into the equation: \[ 0.6 = 0.2 + 0.4 - P(A \cap B) \] 3. **Solving for \( P(A \cap B) \)**: Combine the probabilities on the right side: \[ 0.6 = 0.6 - P(A \cap B) \] Rearranging gives: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.6 - 0.6 = 0 \] 4. **Finding \( P(A|B) \)**: The formula for conditional probability is: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{0}{0.4} = 0 \] ### Final Answer: \[ P(A|B) = 0 \]
