Practicing Success
If A and B are events at the same experiments with P(A) = 0.2, P(B) = 0.5, then maximum value of P(A' ∩ B) is: |
1/ 4 1/2 1/8 1/16 |
1/2 |
P(A' ∩ B) = P(A') - P(B) - P(A' ∪ B) = 0.8 - 0.5 - P(A' ∪ B) P(A' ∩ B) is max when P(A' ∪ B) is minimum But as P(A' ∪ B) = max{P(A'), P(B')} = 0.8 (in the case when smaller set is a subset of larger) ⇒ P(A' ∩ B) = 0.5 |
