Let $S$ be the sample space of a random experiment and $P$ be a probability function defined on the power set of $S$. Two events $A$ and $B$ of the random experiment are called independent if

  • A
    $P(A \cap B^C) = P(A) \cdot P(B)$
  • B
    $P(A^C \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B)$
  • C
    $P(A^C \cap B^C) = (1 - P(A))(1 - P(B))$
  • D
    $P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B^C)$

The probabilities that players $A$ and $B$ of a team are selected for the captaincy for a tournament are $0.6$ and $0.4$, respectively. If $A$ is selected as the captain, the probability that the team wins the tournament is $0.8$ and if $B$ is selected as the captain, the probability that the team wins the tournament is $0.7$. Then the probability, that the team wins the tournament, is:
