P(A)=7/20
P(A∪B)=191/400
P(A∩B)=49/400
P(B)=?
 P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)
191/400=7/20+P(B)-49/400
Multiply every term on both sides by 400
    191=140+400P(B)-49
    191=91+400P(B)
    100=400P(B)
100/400=P(B)
    1/4=P(B)

.

Use the basic formula of Elementary Probability theory


    P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B).


Substitute the given values into the formula. You will get


     =  + P(B) - .


It implies


    P(B) =  =  =  =  = 0.25.    ANSWER

Solved, answered and carefully explained.
