Question 92

For two events R R\,R and SSS,

P(R∩S)=xP(R \cap S) = xP(R∩S)=x, P(R∩S′)=0.18P(R \cap S') = 0.18P(R∩S′)=0.18, P(R′∩S)=0.28P(R' \cap S) = 0.28P(R′∩S)=0.28, P(R′∩S′)=yP(R' \cap S') = yP(R′∩S′)=y

a.

Write down an expression for y y\,y in terms of xxx.

b.

Given that P(R∣S)=P(R)P(R\mid S)=P(R)P(R∣S)=P(R), show that x2−0.54x+0.0504=0x^{2} - 0.54x + 0.0504 = 0x2−0.54x+0.0504=0.

[3]
c.

Given also that P(R)<0.5P(R) < 0.5P(R)<0.5, find the value of x x\,x and the value of yyy.
