The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find \( P[B | (A^C \cup B^C)] \). ### Step 1: Understand the given probabilities 1. \( P(A^C) = 0.3 \) implies \( P(A) = 1 - P(A^C) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 \). 2. \( P(B) = 0.4 \). 3. \( P(A \cap B^C) = 0.5 \). ### Step 2: Find \( P(A \cap B) \) Using the formula for the probability of the union of two events: \[ P(A) = P(A \cap B) + P(A \cap B^C) \] Rearranging gives us: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) - P(A \cap B^C) = 0.7 - 0.5 = 0.2 \] ### Step 3: Find \( P(A^C \cup B^C) \) Using De Morgan's law: \[ P(A^C \cup B^C) = 1 - P(A \cap B) \] We already found \( P(A \cap B) = 0.2 \), so: \[ P(A^C \cup B^C) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 \] ### Step 4: Find \( P(B \cap (A^C \cup B^C)) \) Using the formula: \[ P(B \cap (A^C \cup B^C)) = P(B) - P(B \cap A) \] We know \( P(B) = 0.4 \) and \( P(B \cap A) = 0.2 \): \[ P(B \cap (A^C \cup B^C)) = 0.4 - 0.2 = 0.2 \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( P[B | (A^C \cup B^C)] \) Using the conditional probability formula: \[ P[B | (A^C \cup B^C)] = \frac{P(B \cap (A^C \cup B^C))}{P(A^C \cup B^C)} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ P[B | (A^C \cup B^C)] = \frac{0.2}{0.8} = \frac{1}{4} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( P[B | (A^C \cup B^C)] \) is \( \frac{1}{4} \). ---
