### Activity: Supply the Missing Quantities

#### Diagram Description

The diagram is a probability tree with two main branches:

1. **Branch A**: 
   - Probability to reach node A is 0.7.
   - From node A, two branches emerge:
     - **To C** with a probability of 0.2.
     - **To D** (probability not provided).

2. **Branch B**:
   - Probability to reach node B is 0.3 (implied as the complement of 0.7).
   - From node B, two branches emerge:
     - **To C** (probability not provided).
     - **To D** with a probability of 0.8.

#### Outcome

Fill in the probabilities for the outcomes:

\[ P(A \cap C) = \]
\[ P(A \cap D) = \]
\[ P(B \cap C) = \]
\[ P(B \cap D) = \]

Use the information given in the diagram to calculate the missing probabilities based on the structure of the tree.
