Answer: P(A and B) is greater than P(A)
P(A and B) should be smaller than P(A).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : P(A and B) = 0.40
P(A) = 0.20
Using the given formula of the conditional probability will be
But we know that the probability of any event cannot be more than 1.
Also, the probability of the intersection must be less than the probability of individual event.
Thus , in the given question P(A and B) must be smaller than P(A).
