Find (a) 𝑃 𝐴𝐵 , (b) 𝑃 𝐴𝐵′ , (c) 𝑃 𝐴′𝐵′ .

A red die and a blue die are rolled and the outcome on each die is recorded. 𝐴
is the event ‘outcome on the red die is 3’, 𝐵 is the event ‘outcome on the blue
die is 3’, 𝐶 is the event ‘the sum of the outcomes on each die is 5’ and 𝐷 is the
event ‘the outcome on each die is the same’. Show that (a) 𝐴 and 𝐵 are
independent, (b) 𝐶 and 𝐷 are mutually exclusive.

Events 𝐴, 𝐵 and 𝐶 are defined in the sample space 𝑆 such that


𝑃 𝐴 = 0.4, 𝑃 𝐵 = 0.2, 𝑃 𝐴𝐶 = 0.04 and 𝑃 𝐵𝐶 = 0.44.

The events 𝐴 and 𝐵 are mutually exclusive and 𝐵 and 𝐶 are independent.

(a) Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate the relationship between the three
events and the sample space.
