Question 150

If A and B are two events in a random experiment with $$P(A) = \frac{3}{8}, P(B) = \frac{5}{8}$$ and $$P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{4}$$, then $$P(A \cup B) =$$

Solution

Since,

P(A union B)=P(A) + P(B) - P(A intersection B)

               =(3/8) + (5/8) - (1/4)

               =1-(1/4)

               = (3/4) Ans.
