Answer :
Given : P() = 0.4, P(A or B) = 0.7 and P(A and B) = 0.3
To find : P(B)
Formula used : P(A) = 1 – P()
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
We have P() = 0.4
P(A) = 1 – 0.4 = 0.6
We get P(A) = 0.6
Substituting in the above formula we get,
0.7 = 0.6 + P(B) – 0.3
0.7 = 0.3 + P(B)
0.7 – 0.3 = P(B)
0.4 = P(B)
P(B) = 0.4
