Answer:

a) P(A \cup B) = P(A) +P(B) - P(A\cap B)

And if we solve for P(A \cap B) we got:

P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) -P(A\cup B)= 0.7+0.3-0.9 = 0.1

b) False

The reason is because we don't satisfy the following relationship:

P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B)

We have that:

0.9 \neq 0.3+0.7 =1

c) False

In order to satisfy independence we need to have the following condition:

P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)

And for this case we don't satisfy this relation since:

0.1 \neq 0.7*0.3 = 0.21

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probabilities given:

P(A) = 0.7, P(B) =0.7, P(A \cup B) =0.9

Part a

We want to calculate the following probability: P(A \cap B)

And we can use the total probability rule given by:

P(A \cup B) = P(A) +P(B) - P(A\cap B)

And if we solve for P(A \cap B) we got:

P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) -P(A\cup B)= 0.7+0.3-0.9 = 0.1

Part b

False

The reason is because we don't satisfy the following relationship:

P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B)

We have that:

0.9 \neq 0.3+0.7 =1

Part c

False

In order to satisfy independence we need to have the following condition:

P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)

And for this case we don't satisfy this relation since:

0.1 \neq 0.7*0.3 = 0.21
