Suppose events $A$ and $B$ are such that $P(A \cap B)=0.1$ and $P\left((A \cup B)^{C}\right)=0.3 .$ If $P(A)=0.2$, what does $P\left[(A \cap B) \mid(A \cup B)^{C}\right]$ equal? Hint: Draw the Venn diagram.

Key Concepts

Conditional Probability

Conditional probability is the measure of the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. It is defined as the probability of the intersection of the two events divided by the probability of the conditioning event, provided that the probability of the conditioning event is greater than zero.

Complement of an Event

The complement of an event is the set of all outcomes in the sample space that are not part of the event. The probability of the complement is found by subtracting the probability of the event from one, reflecting the idea that either the event occurs or it does not.

Set Operations and Venn Diagrams

Set operations such as union and intersection are visualized with Venn diagrams, which help in understanding the relationships between different events. The intersection represents outcomes common to both events, while the union represents outcomes that are in at least one of the events. Venn diagrams are particularly useful for identifying mutually exclusive regions.
