If A and B are two events such that P(A)...

If A and B are two events such that P(A) = `(1)/(2)` and P(B) = `(2)/(3)`, then show that
(a) `P(Auu B) ge (2)/(3) (b) (1)/(6) le P(A nn B) le (1)/(2)`
(c ) `P(A nn barB) le (1)/(3) (d) (1)/(6) le P(barAnn B) le (1)/(2)`

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the probabilities of events A and B given that \( P(A) = \frac{1}{2} \) and \( P(B) = \frac{2}{3} \). We will prove each part step by step. ### (a) Show that \( P(A \cup B) \geq \frac{2}{3} \) 1. **Use the formula for the union of two events:** \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] ...
