The correct Answer is:
To find the probability of the union of three events A, B, and C, we can use the principle of inclusion-exclusion. The formula for the probability of the union of three events is given by: \[ P(A \cup B \cup C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A \cap B) - P(B \cap C) - P(A \cap C) + P(A \cap B \cap C) \] ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the individual probabilities**: Start by identifying the probabilities of each event A, B, and C. This means you need to know \( P(A) \), \( P(B) \), and \( P(C) \). 2. **Calculate the pairwise intersections**: Next, find the probabilities of the intersections of each pair of events: - \( P(A \cap B) \) - \( P(B \cap C) \) - \( P(A \cap C) \) 3. **Calculate the intersection of all three events**: Find the probability of the intersection of all three events: - \( P(A \cap B \cap C) \) 4. **Apply the inclusion-exclusion principle**: Substitute all the identified probabilities into the inclusion-exclusion formula: \[ P(A \cup B \cup C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A \cap B) - P(B \cap C) - P(A \cap C) + P(A \cap B \cap C) \] 5. **Simplify the expression**: Perform the arithmetic to simplify the expression if necessary. ### Final Formula: Thus, the final formula for the probability of the union of three events A, B, and C is: \[ P(A \cup B \cup C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A \cap B) - P(B \cap C) - P(A \cap C) + P(A \cap B \cap C) \]
