A certain grapefruit variety is grown in two regions in southern Spain. Both areas get infested from time to time with parasites that damage the crop. Let A be the event that region R1 is infested with parasites and B that region R2 is infested. Suppose P(A) = 3/4, P(B) = 2/5 and P(A ∪ B) = 4/5. If the food inspection detects the parasite in a ship carrying grapefruits from R1, what is the probability region R2 is infested as well?
