Question 12

The events A and B are such that P(A)=0.3P(A) = 0.3P(A)=0.3, P(A∪B)=0.7P(A \cup B) = 0.7P(A∪B)=0.7. Find

a.

P(A′∩B′)P(A' \cap B')P(A′∩B′)

[2]
b.

P(A′∩B)P(A' \cap B)P(A′∩B)

[2]
c(i).

Given also that the events A and B are independent, express P(A∩B)P(A \cap B)P(A∩B) in terms of P(B)P(B)P(B)

[1]
c(ii).

Hence find P(B)P(B)P(B)

[3]
d.

P(A′∪B′)P(A' \cup B')P(A′∪B′)
