Step-by-Step Solution

Given: \( P(\frac{A}{B}) = 0.3 \), \( P(A) = 0.4 \), and \( P(B) = 0.8 \).

We know that \( P(\frac{A}{B}) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \).

So, \( 0.3 = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{0.8} \).

Therefore, \( P(A \cap B) = 0.3 \times 0.8 = 0.24 \).

We need to find \( P(\frac{B}{A}) \), which is given by \( P(\frac{B}{A}) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \).

Substituting the values, we get \( P(\frac{B}{A}) = \frac{0.24}{0.4} \).

Therefore, \( P(\frac{B}{A}) = 0.6 \).

Correct Answer: 0.6
