Solution

To solve for P(AB)P(A \cup B), we use the formula for the probability of the union of two events AA and BB:

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

However, before proceeding, we need more specific information from the Venn diagram, such as the values of P(A)P(A), P(B)P(B), and P(AB)P(A \cap B). If you have the diagram or these probabilities, could you provide them?

  1. How do you compute the probability of the intersection P(AB)P(A \cap B)?
  2. What is the difference between P(AB)P(A \cup B) and P(AB)P(A \cap B)?
  3. If P(A)P(A) and P(B)P(B) are mutually exclusive, what is P(AB)P(A \cup B)?
  4. How can Venn diagrams help visualize probability problems?
  5. How do conditional probabilities relate to Venn diagrams?

Tip: When dealing with Venn diagrams in probability, always consider if the events overlap (i.e., their intersection) to avoid double counting.
