Return to the credit card scenario of Exercise 12 (Section 2.2), and let C be the event that the selected student has an American Express card. In addition to P(A) = .6, P(B) = .4, and P(A n B) = .3, suppose that P(C) = .2, P(A n C) = .15, P(B n C) = .1, and P(A n B n C) = .08.

A. What is the probability that the selected student has at least one of the three types of cards?

B. What is the probability that the selected student has both a Visa card and a MasterCard but not an American Express card?

C. Calculate and interpret P(B | A) and also P(A | B).

D. If we learn that the selected student has an American Express card, what is the probability that she or he also has both a Visa card and a MasterCard?

E. Given that the selected student has an American Express card, what is the probability that she or he has at least one of the other two types of cards?

A. P = 0.73

B. P(A∩B∩C') = 0.22

C. P(B/A) = 0.5

   P(A/B) = 0.75

D. P(A∩B/C) = 0.4

E. P(A∪B/C) = 0.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the event that a student has a Visa card, B the event that a student has a MasterCard and C the event that a student has a American Express card. Additionally, let's call A' the event that a student hasn't a Visa card, B' the event that a student hasn't a MasterCard and C the event that a student hasn't a American Express card.

Then, with the given probabilities we can find the following probabilities:

P(A∩B∩C') = P(A∩B) - P(A∩B∩C) = 0.3 - 0.08 = 0.22

Where P(A∩B∩C') is the probability that a student has a Visa card and a Master Card but doesn't have a American Express, P(A∩B) is the probability that a student has a has a Visa card and a MasterCard and P(A∩B∩C) is the probability that a student has a Visa card, a MasterCard and a American Express card. At the same way, we can find:

P(A∩C∩B') = P(A∩C) - P(A∩B∩C) = 0.15 - 0.08 = 0.07

P(B∩C∩A') = P(B∩C) - P(A∩B∩C) = 0.1 - 0.08 = 0.02

P(A∩B'∩C') = P(A) - P(A∩B∩C') - P(A∩C∩B') - P(A∩B∩C)

                   = 0.6 - 0.22 - 0.07 - 0.08 = 0.23

P(B∩A'∩C') = P(B) - P(A∩B∩C') - P(B∩C∩A') - P(A∩B∩C)

                   = 0.4 - 0.22 - 0.02 - 0.08 = 0.08

P(C∩A'∩A') = P(C) - P(A∩C∩B') - P(B∩C∩A') - P(A∩B∩C)

                   = 0.2 - 0.07 - 0.02 - 0.08 = 0.03

A. the probability that the selected student has at least one of the three types of cards is calculated as:

P = P(A∩B∩C) + P(A∩B∩C') + P(A∩C∩B') + P(B∩C∩A') + P(A∩B'∩C') +              

     P(B∩A'∩C') + P(C∩A'∩A')

P = 0.08 + 0.22 + 0.07 + 0.02 + 0.23 + 0.08 + 0.03 = 0.73

B. The probability that the selected student has both a Visa card and a MasterCard but not an American Express card can be written as P(A∩B∩C') and it is equal to 0.22

C. P(B/A) is the probability that a student has a MasterCard given that he has a Visa Card. it is calculated as:

P(B/A) = P(A∩B)/P(A)

So, replacing values, we get:

P(B/A) = 0.3/0.6 = 0.5

At the same way, P(A/B) is the probability that a  student has a Visa Card given that he has a MasterCard. it is calculated as:

P(A/B) = P(A∩B)/P(B) = 0.3/0.4 = 0.75

D. If a selected student has an American Express card, the probability that she or he also has both a Visa card and a MasterCard is  written as P(A∩B/C), so it is calculated as:

P(A∩B/C) = P(A∩B∩C)/P(C) = 0.08/0.2 = 0.4

E. If a the selected student has an American Express card, the probability that she or he has at least one of the other two types of cards is written as P(A∪B/C) and it is calculated as:

P(A∪B/C) = P(A∪B∩C)/P(C)

Where P(A∪B∩C) = P(A∩B∩C)+P(B∩C∩A')+P(A∩C∩B')

So, P(A∪B∩C) = 0.08 + 0.07 + 0.02 = 0.17

Finally, P(A∪B/C) is:

P(A∪B/C) = 0.17/0.2 =0.85

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
