Answers (1)

Answer: P\left ( B \right )=0.5

Hint: Use  P ( A \cap B)=P\left ( A \right )+P\left ( B \right )-P\left ( A\cap B \right )

Given,

           P\left ( A \right )=0.2

           P ( A \cap B)=0.60

Solution:

As we know, Two events are said to be independent if the product of the events are equal to their intersection. i.e. P ( A \cap B)=P\left ( A \right )P\left ( B \right )

Let,P\left ( B \right )=x

\begin{aligned} &P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \\ &P(A \cup B)=P(A)+x-P(A) P(B) \\ &P(A \cup B)=P(A)[1-x]+x \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &0.60=0.2-0.2 x+x \\ &0.60-0.2=0.8 x \\ &x=\frac{0.40}{0.80} \\ &x=0.5 \\ &P(B)=0.5 \end{aligned}
