1)  

 If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 23 , P(B) = 32 and P(A∪B) = 38 , then find P(A∩B).

P(A∩B) = Answer: 4 32 4


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

P(A) = 23 , P(B) = 32 and P(A∪B) = 38 .

By Addition theorem on probability.

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∪B)

             = 23  +   32  -   38  

             = 32 + 72 - 18 ÷ 48

             =  104 - 18 ÷ 48

             =   8648  = 4 32 4



2)  

 If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 23 , P(B) = 36 and P(A∪B) = 28 , then find P(A∩B).

P(A∩B) = Answer: 1112


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

P(A) = 23 , P(B) = 36 and P(A∪B) = 28 .

By Addition theorem on probability.

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∪B)

             = 23  +   36  -   28  

             = 96 + 72 - 36 ÷ 144

             =  168 - 36 ÷ 144

             =   132144  = 1112



3)  

 If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 23 , P(B) = 32 and P(A∪B) = 28 , then find P(A∩B).

P(A∩B) = Answer: 2312


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

P(A) = 23 , P(B) = 32 and P(A∪B) = 28 .

By Addition theorem on probability.

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∪B)

             = 23  +   32  -   28  

             = 32 + 72 - 12 ÷ 48

             =  104 - 12 ÷ 48

             =   9248  = 2312



4)  

 If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 15 , P(B) = 32 and P(A∪B) = 28 , then find P(A∩B).

P(A∩B) = Answer: 2920


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

P(A) = 15 , P(B) = 32 and P(A∪B) = 28 .

By Addition theorem on probability.

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∪B)

             = 15  +   32  -   28  

             = 16 + 120 - 20 ÷ 80

             =  136 - 20 ÷ 80

             =   11680  = 2920



5)  

 If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 23 , P(B) = 54 and P(A∪B) = 38 , then find P(A∩B).

P(A∩B) = Answer: 3724


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

P(A) = 23 , P(B) = 54 and P(A∪B) = 38 .

By Addition theorem on probability.

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∪B)

             = 23  +   54  -   38  

             = 64 + 120 - 36 ÷ 96

             =  184 - 36 ÷ 96

             =   14896  = 3724



6)  

 If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 25 , P(B) = 56 and P(A∪B) = 38 , then find P(A∩B).

P(A∩B) = Answer: 103120


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

P(A) = 25 , P(B) = 56 and P(A∪B) = 38 .

By Addition theorem on probability.

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∪B)

             = 25  +   56  -   38  

             = 96 + 200 - 90 ÷ 240

             =  296 - 90 ÷ 240

             =   206240  = 103120



7)  

 If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 25 , P(B) = 56 and P(A∪B) = 28 , then find P(A∩B).

P(A∩B) = Answer: 5960


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

P(A) = 25 , P(B) = 56 and P(A∪B) = 28 .

By Addition theorem on probability.

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∪B)

             = 25  +   56  -   28  

             = 96 + 200 - 60 ÷ 240

             =  296 - 60 ÷ 240

             =   236240  = 5960

P(A) = 13 , P(B) = 52 and P(A∪B) = 38 .

By Addition theorem on probability.

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∪B)

             = 13  +   52  -   38  

             = 16 + 120 - 18 ÷ 48

             =  136 - 18 ÷ 48

             =   11848  = 5924

By Addition theorem on probability.

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∪B)

             = 15  +   56  -   38  

             = 48 + 200 - 90 ÷ 240

             =  248 - 90 ÷ 240

             =   158240  = 79120

SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

P(A) = 15 , P(B) = 34 and P(A∪B) = 38 .

By Addition theorem on probability.

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∪B)
