L + S = 13
L = S + 4

S + 4 + S = 13
2S = 9
S = 9/2 =
S = 4.5 ft

L = 4.5 + 4
L = 8.5 ft

A, B and C are events such that P(A) = 1/3, P(B) = ¼, and P(C) = 1/5. Find P(AUBUC) under each of the following assumptions: a)

marta [7]

(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

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

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

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