The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the formulas for conditional probability and the relationship between union and intersection of events. Given: - \( P(A) = 0.6 \) - \( P(B) = 0.7 \) - \( P(A \cup B) = 0.9 \) We need to find: 1. \( P(A|B) \) 2. \( P(B|A) \) ### Step 1: Find \( P(A \cap B) \) We can use the formula for the probability of the union of two events: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ 0.9 = 0.6 + 0.7 - P(A \cap B) \] ### Step 2: Solve for \( P(A \cap B) \) Rearranging the equation: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.6 + 0.7 - 0.9 \] \[ P(A \cap B) = 1.3 - 0.9 = 0.4 \] ### Step 3: Find \( P(A|B) \) Using the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{0.4}{0.7} \] ### Step 4: Simplify \( P(A|B) \) Calculating the fraction: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{4}{7} \] ### Step 5: Find \( P(B|A) \) Using the formula for conditional probability again: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] Substituting the values: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{0.4}{0.6} \] ### Step 6: Simplify \( P(B|A) \) Calculating the fraction: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Final Answers: (i) \( P(A|B) = \frac{4}{7} \) (ii) \( P(B|A) = \frac{2}{3} \) ---
