10 marks
Mid Year Exam

For events \(A\) and \(B\), it is given that \(\mathrm{P}\left( A \right)=\frac{3}{4}\), \(\mathrm{P}\left( A'|B \right)=\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\mathrm{P}\left( A\cup B \right)=\frac{19}{20}\). Find

  1. \(\mathrm{P}\left( A\cap B \right)\),[3]
  2. \(\mathrm{P}\left( A'\cup B' \right)\),[2]
  3. \(\mathrm{P}\left( B|A' \right)\).[2]

For a third event \(C\), it is given that \(\mathrm{P}\left( C \right)=\frac{1}{2}\) and that \(A\) and \(C\) are independent.

  1. Find \(\mathrm{P}\left( A'\cap C \right)\).[2]
  2. Hence state an inequality satisfied by \(\mathrm{P}\left( A'\cap B\cap C \right)\).[1]
