Question 12

The events A A\,A and B B\,B are such that P(A)=516\displaystyle P(A) = \frac{5}{16}P(A)=165​, P(B)=12\displaystyle P(B) = \frac{1}{2}P(B)=21​ and P(A∣B)=14\displaystyle P(A|B) = \frac{1}{4}P(A∣B)=41​.

a.

Find P(A∩B)P(A \cap B)P(A∩B).

[2]
b.

Find P(B′∣A)P(B'|A)P(B′∣A).

[3]
c.

Find P(A′∪B)P(A' \cup B)P(A′∪B).

[2]
d.

Determine whether the events A A\,A and B B\,B are independent, give a reason for your answer.
