Solution

The given probabilities are,

P( E )=0.6, P( F )=0.3 and P( EF )=0.2

The probability P( E|F ) is calculated as,

P( E|F )= P( EF ) P( F ) = 0.2 0.3 = 2 3

The probability P( F|E ) is calculated as,

P( F|E )= P( EF ) P( E ) = 0.2 0.6 = 2 6 = 1 3

Therefore, the value of P( E|F )is 2 3 and the value of P( F|E ) is 1 3 .
