Step 1
Step 1: Start with the formula for the probability of exactly one of the events E or F occurring: \[P(\text{exactly one of E or F}) = P(E \cup F) - P(E \cap F)\] Show more…

Let $E$ and $F$ be two events for which one knows that the probability that at least one of them occurs is $3 / 4$. What is the probability that neither $E$ nor $F$ occurs? Hint: use one of DeMorgan's laws: $E^{c} \cap F^{c}=(E \cup F)^{c}$.
Let F1, F2, and F3 be pairwise disjoint events in a sample space S. Then, the following statement is true for any event E in S: If P(F) = 2P(E), then 2P(F | E) = P(E | F). Prove and show work.

You are given the probability that an event will not happen. Find the probability that the event will happen. $P\left(E^{\prime}\right)=0.92$
