Full solution

Q. The table gives a set of outcomes and their probabilities. Let A A be the event
  1. List Prime Numbers: List out the prime numbers from the outcomes given: 22 and 33 are prime.
  2. Identify Outcomes Less Than 44: Identify the outcomes that are less than 44: 11, 22, and 33.
  3. Calculate P(A and B)P(A \text{ and } B): Calculate P(A and B)P(A \text{ and } B) by adding the probabilities of the outcomes that are both prime and less than 44: P(2)+P(3)=0.2+0.2P(2) + P(3) = 0.2 + 0.2.
  4. Calculate P(B)P(B): P(A and B)=0.2+0.2=0.4P(A \text{ and } B) = 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.4.
  5. Use Formula for P(AB)P(A\mid B): Calculate P(B)P(B) by adding the probabilities of the outcomes that are less than 44: P(1)+P(2)+P(3)=0.1+0.2+0.2P(1) + P(2) + P(3) = 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.2.
  6. Use Formula for P(AA�B): Calculate P(B)P(B) by adding the probabilities of the outcomes that are less than 44: P(1)+P(2)+P(3)=0.1+0.2+0.2P(1) + P(2) + P(3) = 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.2. P(B)=0.1+0.2+0.2=0.5P(B) = 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.5.
  7. Use Formula for P(AA�B): Calculate P(B) by adding the probabilities of the outcomes that are less than 44: P(1)+P(2)+P(3)=0.1+0.2+0.2P(1) + P(2) + P(3) = 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.2.P(B)=0.1+0.2+0.2=0.5P(B) = 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.5.Use the formula P(AB)=P(A and B)P(B)P(A∩B) = \frac{P(A \text{ and } B)}{P(B)} to find P(AB)P(A∩B).
  8. Use Formula for P(AA�B): Calculate P(B)P(B) by adding the probabilities of the outcomes that are less than 44: P(1)+P(2)+P(3)=0.1+0.2+0.2P(1) + P(2) + P(3) = 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.2. P(B)=0.1+0.2+0.2=0.5P(B) = 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.5. Use the formula P(AB)=P(A and B)P(B)P(A∩B) = \frac{P(A \text{ and } B)}{P(B)} to find P(AB)P(A∩B). P(AB)=0.40.5=0.8P(A∩B) = \frac{0.4}{0.5} = 0.8.
