Answer: \frac{1}{3}

Given:

If A and B are thoo events such that

P(A)=P,

P(B)=\frac{1}{3}  and

P(A\cup B)=\frac{5}{9}

Then p=………..

Hint:

Use P\left(\frac{A}{B}\right)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}

Explanation:

\begin{aligned} &P(A)=p \\ &P(B)=\frac{1}{3} \\ &P\left(\frac{A}{B}\right)=P \text { and } \\ &P(A \cup B)=\frac{5}{9} \\ &\therefore P\left(\frac{A}{B}\right)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}=p \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{\mathrm{p}}{3} \\ &\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B})=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}) \\ &\frac{5}{9}=\mathrm{p}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{\mathrm{P}}{3} \end{aligned}

And

\begin{aligned} &\frac{5}{9}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2 p}{3} \\ &p=\frac{2}{9} \times \frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{3} \end{aligned}

p =\frac{1}{3}
