Math Problem Statement
Problem 4. Random events A, B ⊆ Ω satisfy P(A ∪ B′ ) = 0.23, P(A′ ∪ B′ ) = 0.81.
Calculate P(B).
Prove that if P(A) < 0.21, then P(A′ ∩ B′) > 0.02.
Solution
To solve this, let's analyze the given probabilities and express them in terms of probabilities of and and their complements.
Step 1: Analyze Given Probabilities
-
Given:
- Using the formula for the probability of a union:
-
Given:
- Similarly, we apply the formula for a union here:
- Since and , we can rewrite this as:
- Simplifying further:
Step 2: Express in Terms of
From the two given equations, we can isolate and solve for by solving a system of equations using ( P(A) \
