The correct answer is:
5/12
5/12
$P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \Rightarrow \frac{3}{4}=1-P(\bar{A})+P(B)-\frac{1}{4}$
$\Rightarrow 1=1-\frac{2}{3}+P(B) \Rightarrow P(B)=\frac{2}{3} ; \quad$ Now, $P(\bar{A} \cap B)=P(B)-P(A \cap B)=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{12}$
$\Rightarrow 1=1-\frac{2}{3}+P(B) \Rightarrow P(B)=\frac{2}{3} ; \quad$ Now, $P(\bar{A} \cap B)=P(B)-P(A \cap B)=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{12}$
