The accompanying Venn diagram shows three events, A, B, and C, and also the probabilities of the various intersections (for instance, P (A ∩ B) = .07. Determine
(a) P (B ∩ C)
(b) Probability of exactly one of the three occurs.

Solution:

It is given that \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=0.07
From the Venn Diagram given

(a) P(B \cap C)

From the Venn diagram we have
P(B \cap C)=0.15
(b) Probability of exactly one of the three occurs

P (exactly one of the three occurs) = 0.13 + 0.10 + 0.28
= 0.51
