The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will find the required probabilities based on the given information that events A and B are independent, with \( P(A) = 0.3 \) and \( P(B) = 0.5 \). ### Step 1: Find \( P(A \cap B) \) (Probability of A intersection B) For independent events, the probability of the intersection of A and B is given by: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B) \] Substituting the values: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.3 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \] ### Step 2: Find \( P(A \cup B) \) (Probability of A union B) The probability of the union of two events A and B is given by: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the values we have: \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.3 + 0.5 - 0.15 = 0.65 \] ### Step 3: Find \( P(A | B) \) (Probability of A given B) The conditional probability of A given B is calculated using the formula: \[ P(A | B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] Substituting the values: \[ P(A | B) = \frac{0.15}{0.5} = 0.3 \] ### Step 4: Find \( P(B | A) \) (Probability of B given A) Similarly, the conditional probability of B given A is calculated as: \[ P(B | A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] Substituting the values: \[ P(B | A) = \frac{0.15}{0.3} = 0.5 \] ### Final Answers (i) \( P(A \cap B) = 0.15 \) (ii) \( P(A \cup B) = 0.65 \) (iii) \( P(A | B) = 0.3 \) (iv) \( P(B | A) = 0.5 \) ---
