1 5

5. Sample space of a random experiment is given as S={1,2,3…,20}. Let A, B and C be


three events defined as:
A: Selecting a multiple of 5 ;
B: Selecting a multiple of 6 and
C :Selecting a multiple of 4.
Find (i) P(A  C)
(ii) P(B  C)

SOME PROBABILITY RULES :


P(A  B)  P(A)  P(B)  PA  B)
P(Not A)  P(A)  1  P(A)
P(A  B)  P(AUB)
P(A  B)  P(A  B)
P(A  B)  P(A  B)  P(A)  P(A  B)
P(A  B)  P(B)  P(A  B)
