Let A and B be two incompatible events such that P (A) = 0, 3
and P (B) = 0, 5. What are
the probabilities
(a) A or B is realized;
b) that A, but not B, is realized;
c) that neither A nor B are realized?
a) A and B are incompatible events i.e., they are mutually exclusive
Therefore, the probability that either A or B is realized =
p(A)+p(B) - p(A
B)
Since they are mutually exclusive, p(A
B) = 0
Therefore, p(A)+p(B) = 0.8
b) A but not B is realized = P(A)+p(B|) = 0.3+(1-0.5) = 0.8
c) Neither A nor B = 1-p(either A or B) = 1-0.8 = 0.2

Problem 3: Conditional Probabilities Let A and B be events. Show that P(An B | B) = P(A | B), assuming P(B) > 0.
There are two events, A and B, where we know that P(A) > 0 and P(B) > 0. If we know these events are mutually exclusive (disjoint), then we can conclude that these events are: A. independant b. dependant c. both independant and dependant d. neither (we cannot know without the values)
1) Let A, B and C be three events with P(A) = 94%, P(B) = 11%, and P(C) = 4%. Answer the following questions if B and C are disjoint and P(ANC) = 3%, and P(ANB) = 8%. a. Fill the Venn diagram with probabilities of each area. Find the probability that event C does not happen on its own? (That is, either C does not happen, or it happens with other events.) c. Find the probability that at least...
