Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the problem using the given data:
Given:
- Sample space points: 7 points.
- Probabilities of individual points:
- ,
- ,
- .
- Events and represented by a Venn diagram.
From the Venn diagram:
- ,
- .
Now, solve each part:
(a)
The union of and is: The probability is: Substituting:
(b)
The complement of is: The probability is: Substituting:
(c)
From the Venn diagram: The probability is: Substituting:
(d)
The union of and its complement () is the entire sample space. Hence:
Final Answers:
(a) ,
(b) ,
(c) ,
(d) .
