Answer» A sample space consists of 9 elementary events E1, E2, E3, ..., E9 whose probabilities are



P(E1) = P(E2) = 0.08, P(E3) = P(E4) = P(E5) = 0.1, P(E6) = P(E7) = 0.2, P(E8) = P(E9) = 0.07



Suppose A = {E1, E5, E8}, B = {E2, E5, E8, E9} [NCERT EXEMPLAR]



(i) Compute P(A), P(B) and P(A ∩ B).



(ii) Using the addition law of probability, find P(A ∪ B).



(iii) List the composition of the event A ∪ B, and calculate P(A ∪ B) by addting the probabilities of elementary events.



(iv) Calculate PB from P(B), also calculate PB directly from the elementary events of B.
