Worked practice questions

For independent events A and B:

  1. P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B); P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)
  2. P(A) = P(B)
  3. Always exclusive
  4. P(A) + P(B) = 1
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B); P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)

**Independent:** P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B). **Union by inclusion-exclusion:** P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B).

From 7 men and 5 women, choose committee of 4 with at least 1 woman:

  1. Just C(12,4)
  2. 35
  3. C(12,4) - C(7,4) = 495 - 35 = 460
  4. 100
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. C(12,4) - C(7,4) = 495 - 35 = 460

Complementary: all-men committees = C(7,4) = 35. Total committees = C(12,4) = 495. With at least 1 woman = 495 - 35 = 460.
