Let $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ be independent events with $P\left(C_{1}\right)=0.6$ and $P\left(C_{2}\right)=0.3$. Compute (a) $P\left(C_{1} \cap C_{2}\right)$, (b) $P\left(C_{1} \cup C_{2}\right)$, and (c) $P\left(C_{1} \cup C_{2}^{c}\right)$.

Key Concepts

Independent Events

Independent events are events where the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the occurrence of the other. In probability theory, when two events are independent, the probability of their intersection is the product of their individual probabilities.

Intersection of Events

The intersection of two events represents the scenario where both events occur simultaneously. For independent events, the probability of the intersection is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each event.

Union of Events

The union of two events represents the occurrence of at least one of the events. It is calculated using the formula P(A ? B) = P(A) + P(B) ? P(A ? B), which accounts for the potential overlap between the events and avoids double counting.

Complement of an Event

The complement of an event is the set of outcomes that are not in the event. It is used to compute probabilities indirectly, for instance, by subtracting the probability of an event from 1 to find the probability of its complement.

Inclusion-Exclusion Principle

The inclusion-exclusion principle is used to correctly calculate the probability of the union of events by subtracting the probability of their intersection to avoid double counting. This principle is essential when dealing with overlapping events, ensuring accurate probability computation.
