We are given the following information

P(A or B) = 0.9

P(A) = 0.4

P(B) = 0.7

We asked to find P(A and B)

Recall the formula

[tex]P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)[/tex]

"and" means Intersection

"or" means Union

Let us substitute the given probabilities into the above formula

[tex]P(A\cap B)=0.4+0.7-0.9=0.2[/tex]

Therefore, the probability P(A and B) is 0.2
