The correct Answer is:
To find \( P(A \cup B) \) given \( P(A) = 0.6 \), \( P(B) = 0.5 \), and \( P(A | B) = 0.3 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Use the definition of conditional probability The conditional probability \( P(A | B) \) is defined as: \[ P(A | B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] From the problem, we know \( P(A | B) = 0.3 \) and \( P(B) = 0.5 \). We can rearrange this formula to find \( P(A \cap B) \): \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A | B) \times P(B) \] ### Step 2: Calculate \( P(A \cap B) \) Substituting the known values: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.3 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \] ### Step 3: Use the formula for the union of two events The formula for the probability of the union of two events \( A \) and \( B \) is: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] ### Step 4: Substitute the known values into the formula Now we can substitute the values we have: \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.6 + 0.5 - 0.15 \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( P(A \cup B) \) Perform the addition and subtraction: \[ P(A \cup B) = 1.1 - 0.15 = 0.95 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the probability \( P(A \cup B) \) is: \[ \boxed{0.95} \]
