Question

14. If P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.5 and P(A and B) = 0.2, then P(B|A) =

Answer 1

Answer:

14) b)  P(B/A) = 0.50

15) P(A or B) = 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

14)

Given P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.5 and P(A and B) = 0.2

Conditional probability of B given that A

$P(\frac{B}{A} ) = \frac{P(AnB)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.2}{0.4} = 0.50$

15)

By using Addition theorem on probability

P( A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

               = 0.4 +0.5 - 0.2

P( A ∪ B) =0.7
