The correct Answer is:
To prove that \( P(A \cup B) \cdot P(A' \cap B') \leq P(C) \), where \( C \) is the event that exactly one of \( A \) and \( B \) occurs, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the events - Let \( A \) and \( B \) be two independent events. - The event \( C \) can be expressed as \( C = (A \cap B') \cup (A' \cap B) \). ### Step 2: Calculate \( P(C) \) Using the properties of probability: \[ P(C) = P(A \cap B') + P(A' \cap B) \] Since \( A \) and \( B \) are independent: \[ P(A \cap B') = P(A) \cdot P(B') = P(A) \cdot (1 - P(B)) \] \[ P(A' \cap B) = P(A') \cdot P(B) = (1 - P(A)) \cdot P(B) \] Thus, \[ P(C) = P(A)(1 - P(B)) + (1 - P(A))P(B) \] ### Step 3: Simplify \( P(C) \) Expanding \( P(C) \): \[ P(C) = P(A) - P(A)P(B) + P(B) - P(A)P(B) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A)P(B) \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( P(A \cup B) \) Using the formula for the probability of the union of two events: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Since \( A \) and \( B \) are independent: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) \] Thus, \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B) \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( P(A' \cap B') \) Using De Morgan's law: \[ P(A' \cap B') = 1 - P(A \cup B) \] Substituting the value of \( P(A \cup B) \): \[ P(A' \cap B') = 1 - (P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B)) = 1 - P(A) - P(B) + P(A)P(B) \] ### Step 6: Combine \( P(A \cup B) \) and \( P(A' \cap B') \) Now, we need to show that: \[ P(A \cup B) \cdot P(A' \cap B') \leq P(C) \] Substituting the expressions we derived: \[ (P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B)) \cdot (1 - P(A) - P(B) + P(A)P(B)) \leq P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A)P(B) \] ### Step 7: Prove the inequality This step involves algebraic manipulation and simplification to show that the left-hand side is indeed less than or equal to the right-hand side. ### Conclusion Thus, we have shown that: \[ P(A \cup B) \cdot P(A' \cap B') \leq P(C) \] This completes the proof. ---
