Standard +0.3 This is a straightforward application of Venn diagram probability with one algebraic constraint. Students need to set up equations using P(A∩B)=0.3, P(A'∩B')=0.1, and P(A)=2P(B), then solve a simple linear equation. It requires basic probability rules and elementary algebra, making it slightly easier than average for A-level.
5 The Venn diagram illustrates the occurrence of two events \(A\) and \(B\).

You are given that \(\mathrm { P } ( A \cap B ) = 0.3\) and that the probability that neither \(A\) nor \(B\) occurs is 0.1 . You are also given that \(\mathrm { P } ( A ) = 2 \mathrm { P } ( B )\).
Find \(\mathrm { P } ( B )\).

You are given that $\mathrm { P } ( A \cap B ) = 0.3$ and that the probability that neither $A$ nor $B$ occurs is 0.1 . You are also given that $\mathrm { P } ( A ) = 2 \mathrm { P } ( B )$.
Find $\mathrm { P } ( B )$.
