The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find \( P(\bar{A} | \bar{B}) \), where \( \bar{A} \) and \( \bar{B} \) are the complements of events \( A \) and \( B \) respectively. We are given: - \( P(A) = \frac{3}{5} \) - \( P(B) = \frac{3}{10} \) - \( P(A|B) = \frac{2}{3} \) ### Step 1: Find \( P(A \cap B) \) Using the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] We can rearrange this to find \( P(A \cap B) \): \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A|B) \cdot P(B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A \cap B) = \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{10} = \frac{2 \cdot 3}{3 \cdot 10} = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} \] ### Step 2: Find \( P(A \cup B) \) Using the formula for the union of two events: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A \cup B) = \frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{10} - \frac{1}{5} \] To perform this calculation, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 10 is 10: \[ P(A \cup B) = \frac{6}{10} + \frac{3}{10} - \frac{2}{10} = \frac{6 + 3 - 2}{10} = \frac{7}{10} \] ### Step 3: Find \( P(\bar{A}) \) and \( P(\bar{B}) \) Now we can find the probabilities of the complements: \[ P(\bar{A}) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5} \] \[ P(\bar{B}) = 1 - P(B) = 1 - \frac{3}{10} = \frac{7}{10} \] ### Step 4: Find \( P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B}) \) Using the relationship: \[ P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B}) = 1 - P(A \cup B) \] Substituting the value we found for \( P(A \cup B) \): \[ P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B}) = 1 - \frac{7}{10} = \frac{3}{10} \] ### Step 5: Find \( P(\bar{A} | \bar{B}) \) Using the conditional probability formula: \[ P(\bar{A} | \bar{B}) = \frac{P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})}{P(\bar{B})} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ P(\bar{A} | \bar{B}) = \frac{\frac{3}{10}}{\frac{7}{10}} = \frac{3}{7} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the probability \( P(\bar{A} | \bar{B}) \) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{3}{7}} \]
