Answer:
7/80
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that: P(B) = 7 / 20, P(A|B)= 1 / 4
Bayes theorem is used to mathematically represent the conditional probability of an event A given B. According to Bayes theorem:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}[/tex]
Where P(B) is the probability of event B occurring, P(A ∩ B) is the probability of event A and event B occurring and P(A|B) is the probability of event A occurring given event B.
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}\\\\P(A \cap B)=P(A|B)*P(B)\\\\Substituting:\\\\P(A \cap B)=1/4*7/20=7/80\\\\P(A \cap B)=7/80[/tex]
