Question
If $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=0.8$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=0.3$ then $\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}})=\text{P}(\overline{\text{B}})=$

Answer

  1. 0.9
Solution:
If $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=0.8\text{ P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=0.3,$
$\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\text{P(A)}+\text{P(B)}-\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P(A)}+\text{P(B)}=\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})-\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P(A)}+\text{P(B)}=1.1$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P}(\overline{\text{A}})+\text{P}(\overline{\text{B}})=1-\text{P(A)}+1-\text{P(B)}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P}(\overline{\text{A}})+\text{P}(\overline{\text{B}})=\big[\text{P(A)}+\text{P(B)}\big]$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P}(\overline{\text{A}})+\text{P}(\overline{\text{B}})=2-1.1$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P}(\overline{\text{A}})+\text{P}(\overline{\text{B}})=0.9$
