The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability of event B, given the probabilities of event A and the intersection of A and the complement of B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values**: - \( P(A) = 0.8 \) - \( P(A \cap B') = 0.3 \) (where \( B' \) is the complement of B) 2. **Use the Independence of Events**: Since A and B are independent, A and \( B' \) are also independent. Therefore, we can use the formula: \[ P(A \cap B') = P(A) \cdot P(B') \] 3. **Substitute the Known Values**: Substitute the known values into the equation: \[ 0.3 = 0.8 \cdot P(B') \] 4. **Solve for \( P(B') \)**: To find \( P(B') \), divide both sides of the equation by 0.8: \[ P(B') = \frac{0.3}{0.8} = 0.375 \] 5. **Find \( P(B) \)**: Since \( P(B) + P(B') = 1 \), we can find \( P(B) \): \[ P(B) = 1 - P(B') = 1 - 0.375 = 0.625 \] 6. **Final Result**: Therefore, the probability of event B is: \[ P(B) = 0.625 \] ### Summary: - \( P(B) = 0.625 \)
