Probability Intersection 2Bc5F5
1. **Problem statement:** Given that $P(A|B) + P(B|A) = 0.8$ and $\frac{1}{P(B)} + \frac{1}{P(A)} = 4$, find $P(B \cap A)$.
2. **Recall the conditional probability formulas:**
$$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \quad \text{and} \quad P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$$
3. Substitute these into the given equation:
$$\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} + \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = 0.8$$
4. Factor out $P(A \cap B)$:
$$P(A \cap B) \left( \frac{1}{P(B)} + \frac{1}{P(A)} \right) = 0.8$$
5. From the problem, we know:
$$\frac{1}{P(B)} + \frac{1}{P(A)} = 4$$
6. Substitute this into the equation:
$$P(A \cap B) \times 4 = 0.8$$
7. Solve for $P(A \cap B)$:
$$P(A \cap B) = \frac{0.8}{4} = 0.2$$
**Final answer:** $P(B \cap A) = 0.2$ which corresponds to option ⓑ.
