Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur. The probability of P(AUB) is 1/2
Conditional probability
Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur. Given the following parameters
If P(A) = 1/6
P(B) = 5/12
P(A\B) + P(B\A) = 7/10
Required
p(AUB)
Recall that:
P(A|B)=P(AnB)/P(B)
P(B|A) = P(BnA)/P(A)
P(AnB)/P(B) + P(BnA)/P(A) = 7/10
12/5P(AnB) + 6P(BnA) = 7/10
42/5P(BnA) = 7/10
6/5P(BnA) = 1/10
6P(BnA) = 1/2
P(BnA) = 1/12
Determine P(AUB)
P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)
P(AUB) = 1/6 + 5/12 - 1/12
P(AUB) = 1/6 + 4/12
P(AUB) = 2+4/12
P(AUB) = 1/2
Hence the probability of P(AUB) is 1/2
