Bc 3/8
(a) Describe the following event in terms of a union or intersection and find their prob-
abilities:
(i) A is observed and B is not observed.
(ii) A is not observed or B is observed.
(iii) B is not observed.
(b) Assume that event B is observed. What is the probability that A is observed?
What is the probability that A is observed assuming Bº is observed?
(c) Are A and B independent?
