Question

In an experiment, A, B, C and D are events with probabilities P[A ? B] = 5/8, P[A] = 3/8, P[C ? D] = 1/3, and P[C] = 1/2. Furthermore, A and B are disjoint, while C and D are independent. (a) Find P[A ? B], P[B], P[A ? B?], and P[A ? B?]. (b) Are A and B independent? (c) Find P[D], P[C ? D?], P[C? ? D?], and P[C|D]. (d) Find P[C ? D] and P[C ? D?]. (e) Are C and D? independent?

Step 1

(a) Since A and B are disjoint, P(A ∩ B) = 0, which contradicts the given P(A ∩ B) = 5/8. Show more…

In an experiment, A, B, C and D are events with probabilities P[A ∪ B] = 5/8, P[A] = 3/8, P[C ∩ D] = 1/3, and P[C] = 1/2. Furthermore, A and B are disjoint, while C and D are independent. (a) Find P[A ∩ B], P[B], P[A ∩ Bc], and P[A ∪ Bc]. (b) Are A and B independent? (c) Find P[D], P[C ∩ Dc], P[Cc ∩ Dc], and P[C|D]. (d) Find P[C ∪ D] and P[C ∪ Dc]. (e) Are C and Dc independent?
