Answer:

Explanation:

We can use the formula for conditional probability to find the missing probability:

P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)

We are given that P(A ∩ B) = 11/50 and P(A|B) = 11/20, so we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for P(B):

11/20 = 11/50 / P(B)

Multiplying both sides by P(B), we get:

P(B) * 11/20 = 11/50

Multiplying both sides by 20/11, we get:

P(B) = (11/50) * (20/11) = 4/10 = 2/5

Therefore, P(B) = 2/5.
