Prelims

The events \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) are such that \(\mathrm{P}\left( A \right)=0.1\), \(\mathrm{P}\left( B \right)=0.2\) and \(\mathrm{P}\left( C \right)=c\). \(A\) and \(B\) are independent events. \(A\) and \(C\) are mutually exclusive events.

  1. State the values of \(\mathrm{P}\left( \left. A \right|B \right)\) and \(\mathrm{P}\left( \left. A \right|C \right)\).[2]

It is given that \(\mathrm{P}\left( A\cup B \right)=\mathrm{P}\left( A'\cap C' \right)\).

  1. Find the value of \(c\).[3]
  2. Find the maximum and minimum possible values of \(\mathrm{P}\left( A'\cap B'\cap C' \right)\).[4]
