QUESTION:

If \(P(A)=0.4, P(B)=0.5\), and \(P(A \cap B)=0.3\), find

(a) \(P(A \cup B)\),

(b) \(P\left(A \cap B^{\prime}\right)\), and

(c) \(P\left(A^{\prime} \cup B^{\prime}\right)\).

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

We have,

P(A) = 0.4,

P(B) = 0.5 and

\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=0.3\)

We need to find,

\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B})\),

\(\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}^{\prime}\right)\) and

\(\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A}^{\prime} \cup \mathrm{B}^{\prime}\right)\).
