Question 13

The Venn diagram shows the probabilities associated with three events, AAA, B B\,B and CCC. A Venn diagram for events A, B and C shows 0.12, q, 0.22, p, 0.3 and r in the specified regions.

a.

Write down the two events that are mutually exclusive.

[1]
b.

Given that P(B∣C)=0.25P(B | C) = 0.25P(B∣C)=0.25, find the value of ppp.

[2]
c.

Given also that A A\,A and B B\,B are independent find the values of q q\,q and rrr.
