The sample space of a random experiment is {a, b,c, d,e} with probabilities 0.1,0.1,0.2,0.4, and 0.2, respectively. let a denote the event {a, b,c}, and let b denote the even t {c, d,e}. determine the following:

a. p(a)
b. p(b)
c. p(a’)
d. p(aub)
e. p(anb)

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample space

S={a,b,c,d,e}

P(a)=0.1

P(b)=0.1

P(c)=0.2

P(d)=0.4

P(e)=0.2

a.A={a,b,c}

P(A)=P(a)+P(b)+P(c)

P(A)=0.1+0.1+0.2=0.4

b.B={c,d,e}

P(B)=P(c)+P(d)+P(e)=0.2+0.4+0.2=0.8

c.A'=Sample space-A={a,b,c,d,e}-{a,b,c}={d,e}

P(A')=P(d)+P(e)=0.4+0.2=0.6

d.={a,b,c,d,e}

=P(a)+P(b)+P(c)+P(d)+P(e)=0.1+0.1+0.2+0.4+0.2=1

e.={c}

no not all of them.

step-by-step explanation:

some of them have a square base.
