Question. 2.13:
a. A1 ∪ A2: This
Probability of A1 ∪ A2:
P(A1 ∪ A2) = P(A1) + P(A2) - P(A1 ∩ A2)
= 0.22 + 0.25 - 0.11
= 0.36
b. A1' ∩ A2': This event represents not winning project 1 (A1') and not winning project 2 (A2'). In words, it's the event of not being awarded either project 1 or project 2.
Probability of A1' ∩ A2':
P(A1' ∩ A2') = P(A1' ∩ A2)
= P(A2) - P(A1 ∩ A2)
= 0.25 - 0.11
= 0.14
c. A1 ∪ A2 ∪ A3: This event represents the project being awarded to either project 1 (A1), project 2 (A2), or project 3 (A3), or any combination of them. In words, it's the event of winning any of the three projects.
Probability of A1 ∪ A2 ∪ A3:
P(A1 ∪ A2 ∪ A3) = P(A1) + P(A2) + P(A3) - P(A1 ∩ A2) - P(A1 ∩ A3) - P(A2 ∩ A3) + P(A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3)
= 0.22 + 0.25 + 0.28 - 0.11 - 0.05 - 0.07 + 0.01
= 0.53
d. A1' ∩ A2' ∩ A3': This event represents not winning project 1 (A1'), not winning project 2 (A2'), and not winning project 3 (A3'). In words, it's the event of not being awarded any of the three projects.
Probability of A1' ∩ A2' ∩ A3':
P(A1' ∩ A2' ∩ A3') = P(A1') × P(A2') × P(A3')
= (1 - P(A1)) × (1 - P(A2)) × (1 - P(A3))
= (1 - 0.22) × (1 - 0.25) × (1 - 0.28)
= 0.58 × 0.75 × 0.72
≈ 0.315
e. A1' ∩ A2' ∩ A3: This event represents not winning project 1 (A1'), not winning project 2 (A2'), but winning project 3 (A3). In words, it's the event of not being awarded project 1 and project 2, but being awarded project 3.
Probability of A1' ∩ A2' ∩ A3:
P(A1' ∩ A2' ∩ A3) = P(A3) - P(A1 ∩ A3) - P(A2 ∩ A3) + P(A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3)
= 0.28 - 0.05 - 0.07 + 0.01
= 0.17
f. (A1' ∩ A2') ∪ A3: This event represents not winning project 1 (A1') and not winning project 2 (A2'), or winning project 3 (A3), or both. In words, it's the event of not being awarded project 1 and project 2, or being awarded project 3, or both.
Probability of (A1' ∩ A2') ∪ A3:
P((A1' ∩ A2') ∪ A3) = P(A1' ∩ A2') + P(A3) - P((A1' ∩ A2') ∩ A3)
= 0.14 + 0.28 - 0.01
= 0.41


P(A1)=0.22, P(A2)=0.25
