Consider randomly selecting a student at a certain university, and let A denote the event that the selected individual has a Visa credit card and B be the analogous event for a MasterCard. Suppose that P(A) = 0.6, P(B) = 0.5, and P(A ∩ B) = 0.35.
(a) Compute the probability that the selected individual has at least one of the two types of cards (i. e., the probability of the event A ∪ B).
(b) What is the probability that the selected individual has neither type of card? (c) Describe, in terms of A and B, the event that the selected student has a Visa card but not a MasterCard.
(d) Calculate the probability of this event.
A ∩ B' A ∪ B' A' ∪ B' A' ∩ B' A' ∩ B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Visa card is represented by P(A)

MasterCard is represented by P(B)

P(A)= 0.6

P(A')=0.4

P(B)=0.5

P(B')=0.5

P(A∩B)=0.35

1. P(A U B) =?

P(A U B)= P(A)+P(B)-P(A ∩ B)

P(A U B)=0.6+0.5-0.35

P(A U B)= 0.75

The probability of student that has least one of the cards is 0.75

2. Probability of the neither of the student have the card is given as

P(A U B)'=1-P(A U B)

P(A U B)= 1-0.75

P(A U B)= 0.25

3. Probability of Visa card only,

P(A)= 0.6

P(A) only means students who has visa card but not MasterCard.

P(A) only= P(A) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A) only=0.6-0.35

P(A) only=0.25.

4. Compute the following

a. A ∩ B'

b. A ∪ B'

c. A' ∪ B'

d. A' ∩ B'

e. A' ∩ B

a. A ∩ B'

P(A∩ B') implies that the probability of A without B i.e probability of A only and it has been obtain in question 3.

P(A ∩ B')= P(A-B)=P(A)-P(A∩ B)

P(A∩ B')= 0.6-0.35

P(A∩ B')= 0.25

b. P(A ∪ B')

P(A ∪ B')= P(A)+P(B')-P(A ∩ B')

P(A ∪ B')= 0.6+0.5-0.25

P(A ∪ B')= 0.85

c. P(A' ∪ B')= P(A')+P(B')-P(A' ∩ B')

But using Demorgan theorem

P(A∩B)'=P(A' ∪ B')

P(A∩B)'=1-P(A∩B)

P(A∩B)'=1-0.35

P(A∩B)'=0.65

Then, P(A∩B)'=P(A' ∪ B')= 0.65

d. P( A' ∩ B' )

Using demorgan theorem

P(A U B)'= P(A' ∩ B')

P(A U B)'= 1-P(A U B)

P(A' ∩ B')= 1-0.75

P(A' ∩ B')= 0.25

P(A U B)'= P(A' ∩ B')=0.25

e. P(A' ∩ B)= P(B ∩ A') commutative law

Then, P(B ∩ A') = P(B) only

P(B ∩ A') = P(B) -P(A ∩ B)

P(B ∩ A') =0.5 -0.35

P(B ∩ A') =0.15

P(A' ∩ B)= P(B ∩ A') =0.15

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.
