Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(P(\bar{A}) = 0.3\), we have \(P(A) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7\). Given \(P(A \cap \bar{B}) = 0.5\), we use the identity \(P(A \cap \bar{B}) = P(A) - P(A \cap B)\). \(0.5 = 0.7 - P(A \cap B) \Rightarrow P(A \cap B) = 0.2\). We need to find…
