The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break down the information given and apply the relevant probability formulas.
### Given:
1. \( P(A \cup B) = 0.6 \)
2. \( P(A) = P(B) \)
3. \( P(B|A) = 0.8 \)
### Step 1: Define \( P(A) \) and \( P(B) \)
Since \( P(A) = P(B) \), we can denote \( P(A) = P(B) = p \).
### Step 2: Use the conditional probability
From the conditional probability formula:
\[
P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}
\]
Substituting the known values:
\[
0.8 = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{p}
\]
This gives us:
\[
P(A \cap B) = 0.8p \tag{1}
\]
### Step 3: Use the formula for the union of two events
Using 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:
\[
0.6 = p + p - P(A \cap B)
\]
Substituting \( P(A \cap B) \) from equation (1):
\[
0.6 = p + p - 0.8p
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
0.6 = 2p - 0.8p
\]
\[
0.6 = 1.2p
\]
Now, solving for \( p \):
\[
p = \frac{0.6}{1.2} = 0.5
\]
### Step 4: Find \( P(A \cap B) \)
Now substituting \( p \) back into equation (1):
\[
P(A \cap B) = 0.8 \times 0.5 = 0.4
\]
### Step 5: Calculate \( P(A \cap B^c \cup A^c \cap B) \)
We want to find:
\[
P(A \cap B^c \cup A^c \cap B)
\]
Using the formula:
\[
P(A \cap B^c \cup A^c \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A \cap B)
\]
Substituting the values we found:
\[
P(A \cap B^c \cup A^c \cap B) = 0.5 + 0.5 - 2 \times 0.4
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
P(A \cap B^c \cup A^c \cap B) = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2
\]
### Final Answer
Thus, the value of \( P(A \cap B^c \cup A^c \cap B) \) is:
\[
\boxed{0.2}
\]
