Question
(b) P((An B) C)
Using the Rule for Complements, the probability P((A n B)) can be written as follows.
P((A n B)C) = 1 - P(A n B)
We are given the probabilities P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.8, but not P(A n B). Note that since we do not know if A and B are independent events, we cannot use the formula P(A n B) = P(A)P(B).
To calculate P(A n B), first determine the events in the intersection A n B. We are given that A = {E₂, E3}, and B = {E₁, E₂, E4, E5}. Their intersection is the collection of simple events that are common to both A and B, so A n B includes the
following event(s). (Select all that apply.)

Expert Solution
Step 1: Determine the given information

The given events are:

A={E2,E3}

B={E1,E2,E4,E5}

The objective is to obtain the intersection of both events, i.e., AB.
