3. Oil exploration : Let D and E be two events in a sample space. It is given that P (D) = 0.4, P (E) = 0.5 and P (DUE) = 0.8. (a) Are the events D and E disjoint? Are the events D and E independent? Then to oil exploration. We imagine two oil fields. The event B = "oil discovery on field 1", while the complementary event B' = "no oil on field 1". Similarly, the event C = "oil discovery on field 2", while C' = "no oil on field 2". We are given that P (B n C) = 0.06, P (B' n C) = 0.12, P (B n C') = 0.11 and P (B' n C') = 0.71. (b) Find the probability of oil on field 1. Assume that oil has been found on field 2. What is now the probability of oil on field 1? Assume that it has been proven that field 2 does not contain oil. What is now the probability of oil on field 1? Are events B and C independent?
