![**Problem 1.3.4: Probability in Sample Spaces**
Given:
- The sample space is \( C = C_1 \cup C_2 \).
- The probability of event \( C_1 \) is \( P(C_1) = 0.8 \).
- The probability of event \( C_2 \) is \( P(C_2) = 0.5 \).
Task:
- Find the probability of the intersection of events \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \), denoted as \( P(C_1 \cap C_2) \).
Solution:
Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, we can express the probability of the union of two events as:
\[
P(C_1 \cup C_2) = P(C_1) + P(C_2) - P(C_1 \cap C_2)
\]
Since the sample space \( C \) is \( C_1 \cup C_2 \), we assume:
\[
P(C_1 \cup C_2) = 1
\]
Therefore:
\[
1 = 0.8 + 0.5 - P(C_1 \cap C_2)
\]
Solving for \( P(C_1 \cap C_2) \):
\[
1 = 1.3 - P(C_1 \cap C_2)
\]
\[
P(C_1 \cap C_2) = 1.3 - 1 = 0.3
\]
Thus, the probability of the intersection \( P(C_1 \cap C_2) \) is \( 0.3 \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8b0185de-0645-4c2a-aea4-e046d61ab5cb%2Fdee02d52-bee3-4d95-a92b-030ccbffecc8%2Fvh5nane_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
