Use Venn diagrams to verify the following two relationships for any events Aand B (these are called De Morgan’s laws):

a.\(\left( {A \cup B} \right)' = A' \cap B'\)

b.\(\left( {A \cap B} \right)' = A' \cup B'\)

Hint:In each part, draw a diagram corresponding to the left side and another corresponding to the right side.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Venn diagram for the given relationship is:

b. Venn diagram for the given relationship is:

Step by step solution

01

Given information

De Morgan’s laws are provided.

02

Verifying first relationship using Venn diagrams

a.

The law is provided as,

\(\left( {A \cup B} \right)' = A' \cap B'\)

For L.H.S,

The Venn diagram for the event \(\left( {A \cup B} \right)\) is represented as,

Fig(1)

Therefore, using the above diagram, the Venn diagram for\(\left( {A \cup B} \right)'\)is represented as,

Fig(2)

For R.H.S,

The Venn diagram for the event \(A'\) is represented as,

Fig(3)

The Venn diagram for\(B'\) is represented as,

Fig(4)

Therefore, the intersection of the above two diagrams gives\(A' \cap B'\)and is represented as,

Fig(5)

Therefore, it can be observed that Fig(2) and Fig (5) are the same.

Hence verified.

03

Verify the second relationship using Venn diagrams

b.

The law is provided as,

\(\left( {A \cap B} \right)' = A' \cup B'\)

For L.H.S,

The Venn diagram for the event \(\left( {A \cap B} \right)\) is represented as,

Fig (6)

Therefore, using the above diagram, the Venn diagram for \(\left( {A \cap B} \right)'\)is represented as,

Fig (7)

For R.H.S,

The Venn diagram for the event \(A'\) is represented as,

Fig(8)

The Venn diagram for \(B'\)is represented as,

Fig(9)

Therefore, the union of the above two diagrams gives\(A' \cup B'\)and is represented as,

Fig(10)

Therefore, it can be observed that Fig(7) and Fig (10) are the same.

Hence verified.

A large operator of timeshare complexes requires anyone interested in making a purchase to first visit the site of interest. Historical data indicates that \({\rm{20\% }}\) of all potential purchasers select a day visit, \({\rm{50\% }}\) choose a one-night visit, and \({\rm{30\% }}\)opt for a two-night visit. In addition, \({\rm{10\% }}\) of day visitors ultimately make a purchase, \({\rm{30\% }}\) of one-night visitors buy a unit, and \({\rm{20\% }}\) of those visiting for two nights decide to buy. Suppose a visitor is randomly selected and is found to have made a purchase. How likely is it that this person made a day visit? A one-night visit? A two-night visit?

An oil exploration company currently has two active projects, one in Asia and the other in Europe. Let A be the event that the Asian project is successful and B be the event that the European project is successful. Suppose that A and B are independent events with P(A) \({\rm{5 }}{\rm{.4}}\) and P(B) \({\rm{5 }}{\rm{.7}}\).

a. If the Asian project is not successful, what is the probability that the European project is also not successful? Explain your reasoning.

b. What is the probability that at least one of the two projects will be successful?

c. Given that at least one of the two projects is successful, what is the probability that only the Asian project is successful?

Suppose an individual is randomly selected from the population of all adult males living in the United States. Let A be the event that the selected individual is over six ft in height, and let B be the event that the selected individual is a professional basketball player. Which do you think is larger, \(P\left( {A|B} \right)\) or \(P\left( {B|A} \right)\)? Why?

Show that \(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\rm{n}}\\{\rm{k}}\end{array}} \right){\rm{ = }}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\rm{n}}\\{{\rm{n - k}}}\end{array}} \right)\). Give an interpretation involving subsets.

An aircraft seam requires \({\rm{25}}\) rivets. The seam will have to be reworked if any of these rivets is defective. Suppose rivets are defective independently of one another, each with the same probability.

a. If \({\rm{15\% }}\)of all seams need reworking, what is the probability that a rivet is defective?

b. How small should the probability of a defective rivet be to ensure that only \({\rm{10\% }}\) of all seams need reworking?
