    Prove P(A’) = 1 - P(A)

    Prove P(A’) = 1 - P(A) The sample space S contains an Event A and everything not A, called A' We know P(S) = 1 P(S) = P(A U A') P(A U A') = 1 P(A) + P(A') = 1 subtract P(A) from each side: P(A’) = 1 - P(A)

    In a population of 100 persons, 40 persons like tea and 30 persons like coffee. 10 persons like both of them. How many persons like either tea or coffee We don't want to count duplicates, so we have the following formula Tea Or Coffee = Tea + Coffee - Both Tea Or Coffee = 40 + 30 - 10 Tea Or...

    52% of a town's households have children and 25% have pets. If 12% have both, what percent have neither Let C represent households with children. Let P represents households with pets. We have the formula to determine households with Children or Pets as C U P (C Union P) or (C or P): C U P = C...

    If n(A)=1200, n(B)=1250 and n(AintersectionB)=320, then n(AUB) is

    If n(A)=1200, n(B)=1250 and n(AintersectionB)=320, then n(AUB) is We know that: n(AUB) = n(A) + n(B) - n(AintersectionB) Plugging in our given numbers, we get: n(AUB) = 1200 + 1250 - 320 n(AUB) = 2130

    Let A={a,b,c} and B={1,2,3} Compute A∪B

    Let A={a,b,c} and B={1,2,3} Compute A∪B Union means all elements in either A or B, so we have: A∪B = {a,b,c,1,2,3}

    If A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.6, then P(A U B)=

    If A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.6, then P(A U B)=? We know the following formula for the probability of 2 events: P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A intersection B) We're told A and B are independent, which makes P(A intersection B) = 0. So we're left with: P(A U B) =...

    Out of 53 teachers 36 drink tea 18 drink coffee, 10 drink neither. how many drink both?

    Out of 53 teachers 36 drink tea 18 drink coffee, 10 drink neither. how many drink both? Let T be tea drinkers Let C be coffee drinkers Let (T & C) be Tea & Coffee drinkers. And 53 are total. So we use the Union formula relation: C U T = C + T - (C & T) 53 = 18 + 36 - (C & T) C & T = 53 - (Not...

    All real numbers that are less than equal to -1 or greater than 5

    We have two expressions here, so we need a union since we have the word or. First, All real numbers less than or equal to -1 is x <= -1. All real numbers greater than 5 is x > 5 So we have x <= -1 U x > 5
