In the following questions A, B and C are events. (a) (5 points) Prove Boole's inequality for three events: P(AU BUC) ≤ P(A) + P(B) + P(C). (b) (5 points) Prove that if P(C) > 0 and A, B are independent, then: P(ABC) = P(C) · P(An B|C) (c) (5 points) Suppose that P(A|C) ≤ P(B|C) and P(A|CC) ≤ P(B|Cº). Show that P(A) ≤ P(B). (d) (5 points) Show that if A, B are independent, and B, C are independent, it does not necessarily follow that A and C are independent. You can either prove this or provide a counterexample.

In the following questions A, B and C are events.
(a) (5 points) Prove Boole's inequality for three events:
P(AU BUC) ≤ P(A) + P(B) + P(C).
(b) (5 points) Prove that if P(C) > 0 and A, B are independent, then:
P(ABC) = P(C) · P(An B|C)
(c) (5 points) Suppose that P(A|C) ≤ P(B|C) and P(A|CC) ≤ P(B|Cº).
Show that P(A) ≤ P(B).
(d) (5 points) Show that if A, B are independent, and B, C are independent, it does not
necessarily follow that A and C are independent. You can either prove this or provide a
counterexample.
