Question
B. Consider randomly selecting a student at a large university, and let A be the event that the
selected student has a Visa card and B the analogous event for MasterCard. Suppose that
P(A) = 0.6 and P(B) = 0.4.
a. Could it be the case that P(A n B) = 0.5? Why or why not?
b. From now on, suppose that P(A n B) = 0.3. What is the probability that the selected
student has at least one of these two types of cards?
c. Describe, in terms A and B, the event that the selected student has a Visa card but not
a MasterCard, and then calculate the probability of this event.
d. Calculate the probability that the selected student has exactly one of the two types of
cards.
