Prelims

For events \(A\) and \(B\), it is given that \(\mathrm{P}\left( A \right)=\frac{1}{2}\), \(\mathrm{P}\left( B \right)=\frac{2}{5}\) and \(\mathrm{P}\left( A|B' \right)=\frac{11}{30}\).

  1. Find \(\mathrm{P}\left( A\cap B \right)\).[3]

For a third event \(C\), it is given that \(\mathrm{P}\left( C \right)=\frac{3}{10}\). If \(A\) and \(C\) are mutually exclusive and \(B\) and \(C\) are independent, find

  1. \(\mathrm{P}\left( B\cap C \right)\),[1]
  2. \(\mathrm{P}\left( A'\cap B\cap C' \right)\).[2]
