The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the definitions of conditional probability and the relationship between joint and marginal probabilities. Given: - \( P(A) = 0.3 \) - \( P(B) = 0.6 \) - \( P(A|B) = 0.4 \) We need to find: (i) \( P(A \cap B) \) (the probability of A and B occurring together) (ii) \( P(B|A) \) (the probability of B occurring given that A has occurred) ### Step 1: Find \( P(A \cap B) \) By the definition of conditional probability, we know: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] Rearranging this formula gives us: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A|B) \times P(B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.4 \times 0.6 \] Calculating this: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.24 \] ### Step 2: Find \( P(B|A) \) Again, using the definition of conditional probability: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] We already found \( P(A \cap B) = 0.24 \) and we know \( P(A) = 0.3 \). Substituting these values: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{0.24}{0.3} \] Calculating this: \[ P(B|A) = 0.8 \] ### Final Answers: (i) \( P(A \cap B) = 0.24 \) (ii) \( P(B|A) = 0.8 \) ---
