The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the given probabilities and apply the relevant probability formulas. ### Given: - \( P(A \cup B) = \frac{3}{4} \) - \( P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{4} \) - \( P(A^c) = \frac{2}{3} \) ### Step 1: Find \( P(A) \) Using the complement rule: \[ P(A) = 1 - P(A^c) \] Substituting the value of \( P(A^c) \): \[ P(A) = 1 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 2: Find \( P(B) \) Using the formula for the union of two events: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Rearranging the formula to find \( P(B) \): \[ P(B) = P(A \cup B) + P(A \cap B) - P(A) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(B) = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3} \] Calculating \( P(B) \): \[ P(B) = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 3: Find \( P(A \cap B^c) \) Using the formula: \[ P(A \cap B^c) = P(A) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A \cap B^c) = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} \] Finding a common denominator (12): \[ P(A \cap B^c) = \frac{4}{12} - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{12} \] ### Step 4: Find \( P(A^c \cap B) \) Using the formula: \[ P(A^c \cap B) = P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the known values: \[ P(A^c \cap B) = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{4} \] Finding a common denominator (12): \[ P(A^c \cap B) = \frac{8}{12} - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{5}{12} \] ### Final Answers: (a) \( P(A) = \frac{1}{3} \) (b) \( P(B) = \frac{2}{3} \) (c) \( P(A \cap B^c) = \frac{1}{12} \) (d) \( P(A^c \cap B) = \frac{5}{12} \)

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the given probabilities and apply the relevant probability formulas. ### Given: - \( P(A \cup B) = \frac{3}{4} \) - \( P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{4} \) - \( P(A^c) = \frac{2}{3} \) ### Step 1: Find \( P(A) \) ...
