The following information is known regarding the events A, B, and C: • P(A) = 0.2, P(B) = 0.3, P(C) = 0.4 • P(A Intersect B) = 0.06, P(A Intersect C) = 0.08, P(B Intersect C) = 0.12 • P(A Intersect B Intersect C) = 0.03 1) Are the events B and C independent? Why or why not? 2) What is the probability that A occurs or B does not occur?
