1. Let A, B and C be events in the sample space S. Use Venn Diagrams to shade the areas representing the following events (32 points) a. AU (ANB) b. (ANB) U ( AB) C. AU ( ANB) d. (AUB) N (AUC)
Consider an experiment with sample space S and events A,B,C, and D with the following probabl ities: P(AUB)-, P(A)- , P(Cn D) , PC)- .

please explain the answer.
C3. Let A and B be events associated with sample space S. Using the axioms of probability and possibly the consequences of them to show that P(AUB) P(A) +P(B).
In a sample space, events A and B are independent, events B and C are mutually exclusive, and A and C are independent. a) Show that P(AUB) = P(B) + P(A)P(B') = P(A) + P(A')P(B) b) If P(AUBUC) = 0.9, P(B) = 0.5 and P(C) = 0.3 find P(A).

Suppose A and B are events in a sample space Ω. Let P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.5 and P(A∩B) = 0.3. Express each of the following events in set notation and find the probability of each event: a) A or B occurs b) A occurs but B does not occur c) At most one of these events occurs
