Suppose that A and B are two events for which PA02 PB081 and
Suppose that A and B are two events for which P(A)=0.2, P(B)=0.81, and P(B|A)=0.41 Find each of the following:
A. P(AandB)=
B. P(AorB)=
C. P(A|B)=
Solution
P(A)=0.2, P(B)=0.81, and P(B|A)=0.41
Now, P(B/A) = P(AandB)/P(A)
Thus,
A. P(AandB) = 0.41*0.2 = 0.082
B. P(AorB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) = 0.2 + 0.81 - 0.082 = 0.928
C. P(A|B)= = P(A and B)/P(B) = 0.082/0.81 = 0.101
