Question

Unions.

(a) Assume that P(A)=0.4,P(B)=0.3P(A)=0.4, P(B)=0.3, and P(C)=0.1P(C)=0.1. If the events A,BA, B, and CC are disjoint, find the probability that the union of these events occurs.

(b) Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate your answer to part (a).

(c) Find the probability of the complement of the union of A,BA, B, and CC.

1 of 3

a) Since the events are disjoint, we apply the addition rule to calculate the probability that the union of these events occurs.

P(ABC)=P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=0.4+0.3+0.1=0.8\begin{aligned} P(A \cup B \cup C) &=P(A) +P(B) +P(C)\\ &=0.4+0.3+0.1\\ &=0.8 \end{aligned}
