Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
If A and B are such that and
then
P(A∪B) = , P
=
→ (Given)
Now,
P = P(A∩B) → (1)
P(A∩B) = 1 - P(A∩B)
→ From (Given) & (1)
Also,
P = 1 – P(A) → (2)
P = 1 – P(B) → (3)
Now, according to the addition theorem of probability:
P(A⋃B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A⋂B)
→ From (2) & (3)
