Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to calculate three probabilities based on the given information:

  • P(AB) P(A \cap B) for part (a)
  • P(AB) P(A \cup B) for part (b)
  • P(BA) P(B | A) for part (c)

2. Relevant Concepts

  • Joint Probability: The formula for P(AB) P(A \cap B) can be given by: P(AB)=P(B)P(AB) P(A \cap B) = P(B) \cdot P(A | B)

  • Union Probability: The formula for P(AB) P(A \cup B) is: P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB) P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

  • Conditional Probability: The formula for P(BA) P(B | A) is: P(BA)=P(AB)P(A) P(B | A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

3. Analysis and Detail

a. Calculate P(AB) P(A \cap B)

Using the formula: P(AB)=P(AB)P(B) P(A \cap B) = P(A | B) \cdot P(B) In this case, we substitute: P(AB)=0.450.30=0.135 P(A \cap B) = 0.45 \cdot 0.30 = 0.135

b. Calculate P(AB) P(A \cup B)

Now, substitute into the union formula: P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB) P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) P(AB)=0.65+0.300.135=0.815 P(A \cup B) = 0.65 + 0.30 - 0.135 = 0.815

c. Calculate P(BA) P(B | A)

Using the conditional probability formula: P(BA)=P(AB)P(A) P(B | A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} Substituting in our values: P(BA)=0.1350.650.2077 P(B | A) = \frac{0.135}{0.65} \approx 0.2077

4. Verify and Summarize

All calculations have been carried out according to the relevant formulas and checked for accuracy.

Final Answer

a. P(AB)=0.135 P(A \cap B) = 0.135
b. P(AB)=0.815 P(A \cup B) = 0.815
c. P(BA)0.2077 P(B | A) \approx 0.2077
