this is an image of the problem as given, mostly to avoid typo's, but (b) seems to contain a notation that I don't recognize.
well for \(\displaystyle (a)\) find \(\displaystyle p(A\cap B)\)
from the counting Formula:
\(\displaystyle n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)\)
replacing $n$ for $p$ and isolating \(\displaystyle p(A\cap B)\)
\(\displaystyle p(A\cup B)-p(A)-p(B)=p(A\cap B)\)
so..
$1-0.6-0.8=-0.4=p(A\cap B)$
(b) ????
