Solution

(i) Calculate P(AB)
Given:
P(A)=0.54, P(B)=0.69, P(AB)=0.35 ...(i)
As we know that,
P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB) ....(ii)
Putting values of (i) in (ii)
P(AB)=0.54+0.690.35=0.88
Hence P(AB)=0.88


(ii) Calculate P(AB)
P(AB)=P(AB) (De Morgan's law)
As we know that,
P(AB)+P(AB)=1
P(AB)=1P(AB)
P(AB)=10.88=0.12
Hence P(AB)=P(AB)=0.12


(iii) Calculate P(AB)
Given :
P(A)=0.54, P(B)=0.69, P(AB)=0.35 ...(i)
From figure below,
P(AB)=P(A)P(AB) ...(ii)
Putting values (i) in (ii) then we get
P(AB)=0.540.35=0.19
Hence P(AB)=0.19
(iv) Calculate P(BA)
Given :
P(A)=0.54, P(B)=0.69, P(AB)=0.35 ...(i)
From the figure,
P(BA)=P(B)P(AB) ...(ii)
Putting values (i) in (ii) then we get
P(BA)=0.690.35=0.34
Hence P(BA)=0.34
