Problem 5. Let A, B and C be pairwise disjoint subsets of the sample space.
For each one of the following statements, determine whether it is true or false.
Note: "False" means "It is not always true."
(a) P(A)+P(B) ≤ 1
(b) P(A) + P(B) ≤ 1
(c) P(AUBUC) > P(AUC)
Problem 6. A certain system can experience three different types of defects.
Let A (i= 1,2,3) denote the event that the system has a defect of type i.
Suppose that
P(A1) = 0.12, P(A2) = 0.07, P(A3) = 0.05
P(A1 U A2) = 0.13, P(A1 U A3) = 0.14, P(A2 U A3) = 0.10,
P(A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3) = 0.01.

a. What is the probability that the system does not have a type 1 defect?
b. What is the probability that the system has both type 1 and type 2
defects?
c. What is the probability that the system has both type 1 and type 2
defects but not a type 3 defect?
d. What is the probability that the system has at most two of these defects?
