Question

 Using only inclusion-exclusion for two events (from page 17 of the notes), prove
the inclusion-exclusion formula for three events, that is:
P (A ∪ B ∪ C) = P (A) + P (B) + P (C) − P (A ∩ B) − P (A ∩ C) − P (B ∩ C) + P (A ∩ B ∩ C)

Theorem 1.8. For a probability function P and any events A and B, A P(A)=1- P(A). B If AC B, then P(A) < P(B). C P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) = P(ANB). (inclusion-exclusion for two events -
