Q4. Prove that for any three events A, B and C (Inclusion-Exclusion Principle). P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B).
3 a) The events A and B are such that P(A) =0.3, P(B'| A) =0.8 and P(B| A')=0.4. Find P(AOB) and P(AUB). Hence, state with reason whether A and B are independent events. b) A box contains 5 balls labelled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. A player draws a ball from the box randomly. If the number on the ball drawn is 2, 3 or 4, the players score is that number. If the number on the ball is 1 or 5, the player can draw a second ball without replacing the first ball, and his score is the sum of the numbers on the two balls. The events A and B are defined as follows A: The score of a player is 4, 5, 6 or 7. B: A player draws two balls from the box. Find P(A), P(B), P(ANB) and P(AUB).
