E and F are events in a sample space S for which P(E) = 0.4, P(F) = 0.3, P(E u F) = 0.5 Find the probability P ( E I F) Round your answer to 2 decimal places. there is supposed to be a line over the F

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u make the question more clear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u mean P(E intersection F)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that was incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry i messed it up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think thats how you would figure F n U

OpenStudy (anonymous):

* F n E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.66

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get 1.66?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I'm sorry it's .66. First, it's easier to draw a venn diagram of E and F. THey give you what each variable stands for and the union as well so E intersect F has to be .2 in order for E U F to be .5. Once you know the intersection plug it into the formula E n F/ F

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question was fin the probability of E given F right? It's the conditional probability

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hashir did you see what i wrote on twiddla?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup
