Answer:

[tex]P(B) = 0.3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the following formula for Venn probabilities to solve this question.

[tex]P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)[/tex]

P((AUB)') = 0.4

This means that:

[tex]P(A \cup B) = 1 - P(A \cup B)' = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6[/tex]

We also have that:

[tex]P(A) = 0.5, P(A \cap B) = 0.2[/tex]

What is P(B)?​

[tex]P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)[/tex]

[tex]0.6 = 0.5 + P(B) - 0.2[/tex]

[tex]0.3 + P(B) = 0.6[/tex]

[tex]P(B) = 0.3[/tex]
