Testing Blogger LaTeX with a little more care. "Work with me now"

Problem 1.2-6 (c)



Find


Again using basic properties and theorems of probability


and


Now we need to use this formula


in this problem.


But and its complement is simply



again by basic probability theorems


What is the set actually? It is the area out side of both A and B. which is the same as an intersection of the complements of A and B or set


Therefore


Therefore substituting in our formula.



And the set is really the complement of which = 0.3 because outside of the intersection is outside of either A or B so all this space outside the intersection is in . Thus we can check our work by checking that = 1- = 1- 0.3 = 0.7
