To solve the problem, we need to find the probabilities based on the given information. Let's break it down step by step. ### Given: - Probability of A solving the problem, \( P(A) = \frac{1}{2} \) - Probability of B solving the problem, \( P(B) = \frac{1}{3} \) ### Step 1: Find the probabilities of A and B not solving the problem. - Probability of A not solving the problem, \( P(A') = 1 - P(A) = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \) ...
