Question
(a) Let P(B1 N B2) > 0, and A1 U A2 C B1 N B2. Then show that
P(A||B1) .P (A2\B2) = P (A||B2) .P (A2|B1).
%3D
(b) Let A and B1 be independent; similarly, let A and B2 be independent. Show that in this
case, A and B1 U B2 are independent if and only if A and B1 N B2 are independent.
(c) Given P(A) = 0.42, P(B) = 0.25, and P (An B) = 0.17, find
(i) P(AU B);
(ii) P(An Bº);
(iii) P(Aºn B°);
(iv) P(A°|B®).
