Exercise 2
• The probability to observe a 6 in a loaded dice is three times higher than
the rest of outcomes. Calculate the probability to get a 3.

ANSWER: 0.125

𝑃 𝑋 = 6 + 5 𝑃 𝑋 = 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 = 1
3 𝑃 𝑋 = 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 + 5 𝑃 𝑋 = 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 = 1

Exercise 3
• Given the events A and B, with propabilities: P(A)=0.8 , P(B)=0.7 and
P(A∩B)=0.6. Calculate:
a) 𝑃 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵
b) P A ∩ 𝐵ത
c) 𝑃(𝐴ҧ ∩ 𝐵)

Exercise 3
• Given the events A and B, with propabilities: P(A)=0.8 , P(B)=0.7 and
P(A∩B)=0.6. Calculate:
a) 𝑃 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵
ANSWER: 0.9

𝑃 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = 𝑃 𝐴 + 𝑃 𝐵 − 𝑃 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = 0.8 + 0.7 − 0.6 = 0.9

Exercise 3
• Given the events A and B, with propabilities: P(A)=0.8 , P(B)=0.7 and
P(A∩B)=0.6. Calculate:
b) P A ∩ 𝐵ത
ANSWER: 0.2
A

𝑃 A ∩ 𝐵ത = 𝑃 𝐴 − 𝑃 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 =0.8-0.6=0.2

Exercise 3
• Given the events A and B, with propabilities: P(A)=0.8 , P(B)=0.7 and
P(A∩B)=0.6. Calculate:
c) 𝑃(𝐴ҧ ∩ 𝐵)

ANSWER: 0.1
A

𝑃 𝐴ҧ ∩ 𝐵ത = 𝑃 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = 1 − 𝑃 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = 0.1
𝑃 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = 𝑃 𝐴 + 𝑃 𝐵 − 𝑃 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = 0.8 + 0.7 − 0.6 = 0.9

15
Exercise 5
• Given Ω={a,b,c}, E1={a,b}, E2={b,c} ; and the probabilities P(E1)=0.6,
P(E2)=0.8, what is the probability P(a)? 0.6

ANSWER: 0.2
a b c

0.8

P(a,b)=0.6=P(a)+P(b)

1=P(a,b,c)=P(a,b)+P(b,c)-P(b)=0.6+0.8-P(b)  P(b)=0.4

0.6=P(a)+0.4  P(a)=0.2.
