The probability of simultaneous occurren...

The probability of simultaneous occurrence of at least one of two events A and B is p. If the probability that exactly one of A, B occurs is q then prove that `P(barA)+P(barB) = 2 - 2p + q`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

given that, `p = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnnB)`
`q= P(A) + P(B) - 2*P(A nn B)`
`p-q = P(A nnB)`
`P(bar A) + P( bar B) = 1 - P(A) + 1- P(B)`
`= 2- P(A) +P(B)`
`p=(P(A)+P(B)) - (p-q)`
`2p-q = (P(A)+P(B))`
`2- (2*p - q) = 2- 2*p +q`
