For two dependent events A and B. it is given that P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.5. If `A sube B`, then the values of conditional probabilities P (A|B) and P(B|A) are respectively:

A

`(2)/(5), (3)/(5)`

B

`(2)/(5), 1`

C

`1, (2)/(5)`

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the conditional probabilities \( P(A|B) \) and \( P(B|A) \) given the probabilities \( P(A) = 0.2 \) and \( P(B) = 0.5 \), and the information that event A is a subset of event B (denoted as \( A \subseteq B \)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship**: Since \( A \subseteq B \), this implies that every outcome in A is also in B. Therefore, the intersection of A and B is equal to A itself: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \] 2. **Finding \( P(A|B) \)**: The formula for conditional probability is: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A)}{P(B)} = \frac{0.2}{0.5} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ P(A|B) = 0.4 \] 3. **Finding \( P(B|A) \)**: Similarly, we can find \( P(B|A) \) using the conditional probability formula: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] Again, substituting the values: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.2}{0.2} \] This simplifies to: \[ P(B|A) = 1 \] ### Final Answers: Thus, the values of the conditional probabilities are: - \( P(A|B) = 0.4 \) - \( P(B|A) = 1 \)
