उत्तर

P(A) = 0.4

P(A ∪ B) = 0.7

P(A/B) = 0.4

(i.e.,) `("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("B"))` = 0.4

⇒ P(A ∩ B) = 0.4 [P(B)]    ...........(i)

But we know P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∪ B)

⇒ P(A ∩ B) = 0.4 + P(B) – 0.7

= P(B) – 0.3   .........(ii)

From (i) and (ii) (Equating R.H.S) we get

0.4 [P(B)] = P(B) – 0.3

0.3 = P(B)(1 – 0.4)

0.6 (P(B)) = 0.3

⇒ P(B) = `0.3/06`

= `3/6`

= 0.5
