If A and B are two independent events and `P(A)=0.2, P(B)=0.3`, then find the values of the following:
(i) `P` (A and B) (ii) `P` (A and not B)
(iii) `P` (A or B) (iv) `P` (none of A and B)

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probabilities as requested. ### Given: - \( P(A) = 0.2 \) - \( P(B) = 0.3 \) ### (i) Find \( P(A \text{ and } B) \) or \( P(A \cap B) \): Since A and B are independent events, the probability of both A and B occurring is given by: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B) \] Substituting the values: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.2 \times 0.3 = 0.06 \] ### (ii) Find \( P(A \text{ and not } B) \) or \( P(A \cap B') \): To find the probability of A occurring and B not occurring, we use the independence of A and \( B' \): \[ P(A \cap B') = P(A) \times P(B') \] First, we need to calculate \( P(B') \): \[ P(B') = 1 - P(B) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 \] Now substituting the values: \[ P(A \cap B') = 0.2 \times 0.7 = 0.14 \] ### (iii) Find \( P(A \text{ or } B) \) or \( P(A \cup B) \): The probability of A or B occurring is given by: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Substituting the values: \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.2 + 0.3 - 0.06 = 0.5 - 0.06 = 0.44 \] ### (iv) Find \( P(\text{none of } A \text{ and } B) \) or \( P(A' \cap B') \): The probability of neither A nor B occurring can be calculated using the independence of \( A' \) and \( B' \): \[ P(A' \cap B') = P(A') \times P(B') \] We already calculated \( P(A') \): \[ P(A') = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 \] Now substituting the values: \[ P(A' \cap B') = 0.8 \times 0.7 = 0.56 \] ### Summary of Results: 1. \( P(A \cap B) = 0.06 \) 2. \( P(A \cap B') = 0.14 \) 3. \( P(A \cup B) = 0.44 \) 4. \( P(A' \cap B') = 0.56 \)

To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probabilities as requested. ### Given: - \( P(A) = 0.2 \) - \( P(B) = 0.3 \) ### (i) Find \( P(A \text{ and } B) \) or \( P(A \cap B) \): Since A and B are independent events, the probability of both A and B occurring is given by: ...
