a) A B = 56
b) A = 36 + 56 = 92
c) A B = 40 + 12 + 16 + 44 + 56 = 168
d) A B = 40+12+16+44+36=148
e) A B = 36

a) P(A') = 1- P(A) = 0.7

b) P ( A B ) = P(A) + P(B) - P( A B ) = 0.3+0.2 - 0.1 = 0.4
c) P( A B ) + P( A B ) = P(B). Therefore, P( A B ) = 0.2 - 0.1 = 0.1
d) P(A) = P( A B ) + P( A B ). Therefore, P( A B ) = 0.3 - 0.1 = 0.2
e) P(( A B )') = 1 - P( A B ) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
f) P(A B) = P(A') + P(B) - P( A B ) = 0.7 + 0.2 - 0.1 = 0.8

P(A) = 112/204 = 0.5490, P(B) = 92/204 = 0.4510, P(A B) = (40+16)/204 = 0.2745

a) P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) P(A B) = 0.5490 + 0.4510 0.2745 = 0.7255
