There are symbols missing from your question which I cam struggling to guess and re-insert.

p(a) = 2/3

p(b ??? a) = 1/2

p(a ∪ b) = 4/5

p(b) = ?

Why use the set notation of Union on the third given probability whereas the second probability has something missing but the "sets" are in the other order, and the order wouldn't matter in sets.

There are two possibilities:

1) The second probability is: p(b ∩ a) = p(a ∩ b) = 1/2

→ p(a) + p(b) = p(a ∪ b) + p(a ∩ b)

→ p(b) = p(a ∪ b) + p(a ∩ b) - p(a)

= 4/5 + 1/2 - 2/3

= 24/30 + 15/30 - 20/30

= 19/30

2) The second and third probabilities are probabilities of "given that", ie:

p(b|a) = 1/2

p(a|b) = 4/5

→ Use Bayes theorem:

p(b)p(a|b) = p(a)p(b|a)

→ p(b) = (p(a)p(b|a))/p(a|b)

= (2/3 × 1/2) / (4/5)

= 2/3 × 1/2 × 5/4 = 5/12

My friend told me that there is a Pokemon on diamond named the original one and I can't seem to find it. How do you find it?

It refers to Arceus - the creator of the Pokemon universe. Arceus can be caught as part of a Nintendo Event; atop the Spear Pillar. But this event which gives you the azure flute has never been released everywhere, so people can only get it by cheating or by the movie 12 event.
