Hello,
Let's assume a and b the 2 numbers with a<b

1/a+1/b=5/6 (1)

1/a-1/b=1/6 (2)
(1)+(2)==>1/a+1/a=5/6+1/6==>2/a=1==>a=2

(1)==>1/b=5/6-1/2==>1/b=5/6-3/6==>1/b=1/3==>b=3

FIND THE INDICATED PROBABILITY FOR THE FOLLOWING:
True [87]

The value of the probability P(A and B) is 0.20

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters about the probability are

P(A or B) = 0.9

P(A) = 0.5

P(B) = 0.6

To calculate the probability P(A and B), we use the following formula

P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A or B)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

P(A and B) = 0.5 + 0.6 - 0.9

Evaluate the expression

P(A and B) = 0.2

Hence, the value of the probability P(A and B) is 0.20
