Consider the events A and B, where \(P(A) = 0.5\), \(P(B) = 0.7\) and \(P(A ∩ B) = 0.3\). The Venn diagram below shows the events \(A\) and \(B\), and the probabilities \(p, q\) and \(r\).

  1. Write down the value of[3]
    1. \(p\);

    2. \(q\);

    3. \(r\).

  2. Find the value of \(P(A | B')\).

    [2]
  3. Hence, or otherwise, show that the events \(A\) and \(B\) are not independent.
