The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will find the required probabilities using the given information. ### Given: - \( P(A) = 0.4 \) - \( P(B) = 0.8 \) - \( P(B|A) = 0.6 \) ### (i) Find \( P(A \cap B) \) To find \( P(A \cap B) \), we can use the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] Rearranging the formula gives: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(B|A) \times P(A) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.6 \times 0.4 = 0.24 \] ### (ii) Find \( P(A \cup B) \) To find \( P(A \cup B) \), we use the formula: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.4 + 0.8 - 0.24 \] \[ P(A \cup B) = 1.2 - 0.24 = 0.96 \] ### (iii) Find \( P(A|B) \) To find \( P(A|B) \), we can again use the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{0.24}{0.8} \] \[ P(A|B) = 0.3 \] ### Final Answers: (i) \( P(A \cap B) = 0.24 \) (ii) \( P(A \cup B) = 0.96 \) (iii) \( P(A|B) = 0.3 \)
