The correct Answer is:
To find \( P(A \cup B) \) given \( P(A) = 0.3 \), \( P(B) = 0.6 \), and \( P(B|A) = 0.5 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information**: - We have \( P(A) = 0.3 \) - We have \( P(B) = 0.6 \) - We have \( P(B|A) = 0.5 \) 2. **Use the Definition of Conditional Probability**: - The conditional probability \( P(B|A) \) is defined as: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] - Rearranging this gives: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(B|A) \cdot P(A) \] 3. **Calculate \( P(A \cap B) \)**: - Substitute the values we have: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.5 \cdot 0.3 = 0.15 \] 4. **Use the Formula for \( P(A \cup B) \)**: - The formula for the union of two events is: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] 5. **Substitute the Values into the Formula**: - Now substitute \( P(A) \), \( P(B) \), and \( P(A \cap B) \): \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.3 + 0.6 - 0.15 \] 6. **Perform the Calculation**: - Calculate the result: \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.9 - 0.15 = 0.75 \] ### Final Answer: \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.75 \]
