Answer: The required probability of event B is P(B) = 0.37.

Step-by-step explanation: For two events A and B, we are given the following probabilities :

P(A) = 0.34, P(A ∩ B) = 0.27 and P(A ∪ B) = 0.44.

We are to find the probability of event B, P(B) = ?

From the laws of probability, we have


P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\\Rightarrow 0.44=0.34+P(B)-0.27\\\\\Rightarrow 0.44=0.07+P(B)\\\\\Rightarrow P(B)=0.44-0.07\\\\\Rightarrow P(B)=0.37.

Thus, the required probability of event B is P(B) = 0.37.
