Prelims

For the events \(A\) and \(B\) are such that \(\mathrm{P}\left( A|B \right)=\frac{7}{10}\), \(\mathrm{P}\left( B|A \right)=\frac{4}{15}\) and \(\mathrm{P}\left( A\cup B \right)=\frac{3}{5}\).

Find the exact values of

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

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

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