To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given probabilities and apply the principles of probability effectively. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Probabilities**: - Let \( P(A) \) be the probability that candidate A is selected, which is given as \( P(A) = 0.5 \). - Let \( P(B) \) be the probability that candidate B is selected (which we need to evaluate). - The probability that both A and B are selected is given as \( P(A \cap B) \leq 0.3 \). ...
