Question

Given that the events A and B are such that $P (A) = \frac{1}{2}, P (B) = p, P (A \cup B) = \frac{3}{5}$ . Find p if A and B are. (I) mutually exclusive (ii) independent.

Solution

P(A)=1/2,P(B)=p
P(AUB)=3/5
i) Mutually exclusive P(A $\cap$ B)=0
P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A $\cap$ B)
3/5=1/2+p-0
p=1/10
ii)Independent events P(A $\cap$ B)=P(A)*P(B)=p/2
P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A $\cap$ B)
3/5=1/2+p-p/2
p=1/5
