The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the conditional probability \( P(A|B) \) given that \( \bar{A} \) and \( \bar{B} \) are mutually exclusive, and we know \( P(A) = 0.5 \) and \( P(B) = 0.6 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mutually Exclusive Events**: Since \( \bar{A} \) and \( \bar{B} \) are mutually exclusive, it means that the events \( A \) and \( B \) cannot occur at the same time. Therefore, \( P(A \cap B) = 0 \). 2. **Using the Definition of Conditional Probability**: The conditional probability \( P(A|B) \) is defined as: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] 3. **Substituting Known Values**: From the previous step, we know that \( P(A \cap B) = 0 \). Thus, we can substitute this into the equation: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{0}{P(B)} = \frac{0}{0.6} = 0 \] 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the value of \( P(A|B) \) is \( 0 \). ### Final Answer: \[ P(A|B) = 0 \]
