Question 33

The Venn diagram shows the probabilities associated with three events DDD, E E\,E and FFF, representing users of three social media apps. The probability of using only D D\,D is 0.1, only E E\,E is 0.35, and only F F\,F is 0.2. The intersection D∩E D \cap E\,D∩E is q q\,q and E∩F E \cap F\,E∩F is ppp. Events D D\,D and F F\,F have no common outcomes. The probability of using none of the apps is rrr.

a.

Write down the two events that are mutually exclusive.

[1]
b.

Given that P(E∣F)=0.2P(E | F) = 0.2P(E∣F)=0.2, find the value of ppp.

[2]
c.

Given also that D D\,D and E E\,E are independent, find the values of q q\,q and rrr.
