The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find \( P(A' \cap B') \) given the probabilities \( P(A|B) = 0.6 \), \( P(B|A) = 0.3 \), and \( P(A) = 0.1 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Use the definition of conditional probability**: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] From this, we can express \( P(A \cap B) \): \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A|B) \cdot P(B) = 0.6 \cdot P(B) \] 2. **Similarly, use the definition of conditional probability for \( P(B|A) \)**: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] Thus, we can express \( P(A \cap B) \) in another way: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(B|A) \cdot P(A) = 0.3 \cdot 0.1 = 0.03 \] 3. **Set the two expressions for \( P(A \cap B) \) equal to each other**: \[ 0.6 \cdot P(B) = 0.03 \] Solving for \( P(B) \): \[ P(B) = \frac{0.03}{0.6} = 0.05 \] 4. **Now, we have \( P(A) \) and \( P(B) \)**: - \( P(A) = 0.1 \) - \( P(B) = 0.05 \) 5. **Use the formula for \( P(A \cup B) \)**: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.1 + 0.05 - 0.03 = 0.12 \] 6. **Now, find \( P(A' \cap B') \)** using De Morgan's Law: \[ P(A' \cap B') = P((A \cup B)') = 1 - P(A \cup B) \] Thus, \[ P(A' \cap B') = 1 - 0.12 = 0.88 \] ### Final Answer: \[ P(A' \cap B') = 0.88 \]
