    If set A ={1,2,3,4} and B={2,4,6,8}, what is A intersect B

    If set A ={1,2,3,4} and B={2,4,6,8}, what is A intersect B Using our set notation calculator, we get: A intersect B = {2, 4}

    If n(A)=1200, n(B)=1250 and n(AintersectionB)=320, then n(AUB) is

    If n(A)=1200, n(B)=1250 and n(AintersectionB)=320, then n(AUB) is We know that: n(AUB) = n(A) + n(B) - n(AintersectionB) Plugging in our given numbers, we get: n(AUB) = 1200 + 1250 - 320 n(AUB) = 2130

    Let A and B be independent events with P(A) = 0.52 and P(B) = 0.62. a. Calculate P(A ∩ B).

    Let A and B be independent events with P(A) = 0.52 and P(B) = 0.62. a. Calculate P(A ∩ B). With independent events, the intersection probability is found by: P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B) P(A ∩ B) = 0.52 * 0.62 P(A ∩ B) = 0.3224

    Out of 53 teachers 36 drink tea 18 drink coffee, 10 drink neither. how many drink both? Let T be tea drinkers Let C be coffee drinkers Let (T & C) be Tea & Coffee drinkers. And 53 are total. So we use the Union formula relation: C U T = C + T - (C & T) 53 = 18 + 36 - (C & T) C & T = 53 - (Not...

    100 students were interviewed. 72 ate at A, 52 ate at B. How many ate at A and B?

    P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A intersection B) 100 = 72 + 52 - P(A intersection B) P(A intersection B) = 72 + 52 - 100 P(A intersection B) = P(who ate at A and B) = 24
