Question

Fill in the blanks in following table:

	P(A)	P(B)	P(A ∩ B)	P(A ∪ B)
(i)				…
(ii)	0.35	…	0.25	0.6
(iii)	0.5	0.35	…	0.7

Answer 1

(i) Here,

We know that

(ii) Here, P(A) = 0.35, P(A ∩ B) = 0.25, P(A ∪ B) = 0.6

We know that P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)

∴0.6 = 0.35 + P(B) – 0.25

⇒ P(B) = 0.6 – 0.35 + 0.25

⇒ P(B) = 0.5

(iii)Here, P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.35, P(A ∪ B) = 0.7

We know that P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)

∴0.7 = 0.5 + 0.35 – P(A ∩ B)

⇒ P(A ∩ B) = 0.5 + 0.35 – 0.7

⇒ P(A ∩ B) = 0.15
