Let A and B be independent events with P (A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.4. Find

(i) P(A B) (ii) P(A B)


(iii) P (A|B) (iv) P (B|A)


Given: P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.4

(i) P(A B)


When A and B are independent.


P (A B) = P(A) . P(B)


P (A B) = 0.3 × 0.4


P (A B) = 0.12


(ii) P(A B)


As we know, P (A B) = P(A) + P(B) - P (A B)


P (A B) = 0.3 + 0.4 – 0.12


P (A B) = 0.58


(iii) P (A|B)


As we know



P (A|B) = 0.3


(iv) P (B|A)


As we know



P (B|A) = 0.4
