3) For the events A and B:
We are given:
a) Find
The total probability of occurring is the sum of the probabilities of occurring with and without :
b) Find
Using the formula for the union of two events: We are not yet given , but we can proceed after finding .
Given that , find
We use the conditional probability formula: We already know , and , so we can solve for : Solving for :
c) Determine whether or not A and B are independent.
Events and are independent if: We can now compare with : Since , and are not independent.
4) Events A and B are such that:
We are given:
a) Find
Using the conditional probability formula: Substituting the values we know: We can simplify to find .
b) Find
Using complement rules.
c) Find

Formulas
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B) if independent
P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)
