Question:

If A and B are events such that P(A) = 0.42, P(B) = 0.48 and P(A and B) = 0.16. then, I. P(not A) = 0.58 II. P(not B) = 0.52 III. P(A or B) = 0.47

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$I. \,P(not\, A) = 1 - 0.42 = 0.58$
$II.\, P(not\, B) = 1 - P(B) = 1 - 0.48 = 0.52$
$III.\, P(A \,or\, B) = P(A\, \cup \,B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \,\cap \,B) = 0.42 + 0.48 - 0.16 = 0.74$

Operations on Sets

Some important operations on sets include union, intersection, difference, and the complement of a set, a brief explanation of operations on sets is as follows:

1. Union of Sets:

  • The union of sets lists the elements in set A and set B or the elements in both set A and set B.
  • For example, {3,4} ∪ {1, 4} = {1, 3, 4}
  • It is denoted as “A U B”

2. Intersection of Sets:

  • Intersection of sets lists the common elements in set A and B.
  • For example, {3,4} ∪ {1, 4} = {4}
  • It is denoted as “A ∩ B”

3.Set Difference:

  • Set difference is the list of elements in set A which is not present in set B
  • For example, {3,4} - {1, 4} = {3}
  • It is denoted as “A - B”

4.Set Complement:

  • The set complement is the list of all elements present in the Universal set except the elements present in set A
  • It is denoted as “U-A”
