Given P(A) = 0.4 and P(A ∪ B) = 0.7 Find P(B) if P(B/A) = 0.5

उत्तर
P(A) = 0.4
P(A ∪ B) = 0.7
P(B/A) = 0.5
(i.e.,) `("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("A"))` = 0.5
(i.e.,) P(A ∩ B) = 0.5 × P(A)
= 0.5 × 0.4
= 0.2
Now P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
⇒ 0.7 = 0.4 + P(B) – 0.2
⇒ 0.7 = P(B) + 0.2
⇒ P(B) = 0.7 – 0.2 = 0.5
