If A, B, C are any three events, then prove that
P(A ∪ B ∪ C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A ∩ B) - P(B ∩ C) - P(C ∩ A) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)
(a) For,
Also,
= 0.1 + 0.01 + 0.05 + 0.03 + 0.01 + 0.2 + 0.6 = 1
Hence, the table gives valid assignments of probabilities.
(b) For,
for,
Also,
Hence, the table gives valid assignment of probabilities.
(c) For,
Now,
= 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.4 + 0.5 + 0.6 + 0.7 =
Hence, the table does not give valid assignment of probabilities.
(d)
Hence, the table does not give valid assignment of probabilities.
(e)
Hence, the table does not give valid assignment of probabilities.
