(a) If A,B,C are mutually exclusive, then

P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap C)=P(B\cap C)=P(A\cap B\cap C)=0

so we have

P(A\cup B\cup C)=P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=\dfrac{47}{60}

(b) If A,B,C are mutually independent, then

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

P(A\cap C)=P(A)P(C),

P(B\cap C)=P(B)P(C),

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

so that

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

P(A\cup B\cup C)=\dfrac{47}{60}-\left(\dfrac1{12}+\dfrac1{15}+\dfrac1{20}\right)+\dfrac1{60}

P(A\cup B\cup C)=\dfrac35

vaieri [72.5K]

First we solve modulus

| 37-13| =|24|= 24

Now solving Bracket

25+17 = 42
