#P(A | B)=5/8=0.625, and, P(AnnB')=0.175#

We know that, #P(AuuB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AnnB)..........(1)#.

But, we are given that, #P(AuuB)=3P(AnnB)#.

#:." By "(1), 3P(AnnB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AnnB), i.e., 4P(AnnB)=P(A)+P(B)#

Here, #P(A)=0.3, P(B)=0.2", so that, "P(AnnB)=0.5/4=1/8...(star)#

Now, #P(A | B)=(P(AnnB))/(P(B))=(1/8)/(1/5)=5/8=0.625#

#P(AnnB')=P(A-AnnB)=P(A)-P(AnnB)=0.3-0.125=0.175#.

Enjoy Maths.!
