4. (10 Points) Recall the formula we discussed in class $P(A cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A cap B)$ Using this formula, prove that for any three events A, B, C we have the following identity $P(A cup B cup C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A cap B) - P(B cap C) - P(A cap C) + P(A cap B cap C)$ You may also recall the distributive formula for probability of events/sets.

Step 1

According to the formula we discussed in class, we can rewrite this as: P(AUBUC) = P(AUB) + P(C) - P((AUB)nC) Now, let's focus on the first term, P(AUB). We can further expand this using the formula: P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB) Substituting this back into Show more…

4. (10 Points) Recall the formula we discussed in class P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) Using this formula, prove that for any three events A, B, C we have the following identity P(A ∪ B ∪ C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A ∩ B) - P(B ∩ C) - P(A ∩ C) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C) You may also recall the distributive formula for probability of events/sets.
