pa1 pb2 a and b are disjoint find the following Pba Pa and n
p(a)-.1
 p(b)-.2
 a and b are disjoint
find the following
P(b/a)
 P(a and not b)
 P(b/ not a)
 p(a or not b)
Solution
p(a)-.1 p(not a)=0.9
 p(b)-.2 p(not b)=0.8
 a and b are independent
 if a and b are  independent then a and not b are independent, not a and b are independent
P(b/ not a )= P(b intersection not a)/P(not a) = 0.2*0.9/0.9 = 0.2
 p(a or b)= P(a) + P(b) - P(a intersection b)= 0.1 + 0.2 - 0.1*0.2 = 0.28
 p(not a or not b)= P(not a) + P(not b) - P(not a intersection not b)= 0.9 + 0.8 - 0.9*0.8 = 0.98
 p(a and not b) = 0.1*0.8= 0.08
