A and B are two events such that P (A) = 0.54, P (B) = 0.69 and P (A ∩ B) = 0.35. Find
(i) P (A ∪ B)
(ii) P (A′ ∩ B′)

A and B are two events is given

P (A) = 0.54, P (B) = 0.69 and P (A ∩ B) = 0.35

By definition of P (A or B) under axiomatic approach we can write,

P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A ∩ B)

(i) P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A ∩ B)

= 0.54 + 0.69 – 0.35

= 0.88

(ii) P (A′ ∩ B′) = P (A ∪ B)′ {using De Morgan’s Law}

P (A′ ∩ B′) = 1 – P (A ∪ B)

= 1 – 0.88

= 0.12
