Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
You are given that A and B are two events such that $\text{P}(\text{B})=\frac{3}{5},\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{4}{5},$ then P(A) equals:
A$\frac{3}{10}$
B$\frac{1}{5}$
C$\frac{1}{2}$
D$\frac{3}{5}$

C$\frac{1}{2}$
We have, $\text{P}(\text{B})=\frac{3}{5},\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{4}{5}$
$\therefore\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)\cdot\text{P}(\text{B})$
$=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3}{10}$
Now $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\text{P}({\text{A}})+\text{P}({\text{B}})\cdot\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})$

A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.25 and P(B) = 0.50. The probability pf both happening together is 0.14. The probability of both A and B hot happening is.
A person writes 4 letters and addresses 4 envelopes. If the letters are placed in the envelopes at random, then the probability that all letters are not placed in the right envelopes, is
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.If $\text{P}(\text{A})=0.4,\text{P}(\text{B})=0.8$ and $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)=0.6,$ then $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})$ is equal to:
A rifleman is firing at a distant target and has only 10% chance of hiting it. the least number of round he must fire in order to have more than 50% chance of hitting it at least once is:
If A and B are such that $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{5}{9}$ and $\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}}\cup\overline{\text{B}})=\frac{2}{3},$ then $\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}})+\text{P}(\overline{\text{B}})=$
