Engineering probability question

[skhanal1]

hello everyone, I had a multiple part question to a probability problem

Events A1, A2 and A3 are such that:
P[A1] = 3/10
P[A2|A1] = 6/10
P[A2|A1*]= 8/10
P[A3|A1 n A2] = 5/10
P[A3|A1* n A2] = 2/10
P[A3|A1 n A2*] = 7/10
P[A3|A1* n A2*] = 1/10

(i) Determine the probabilities of the eight events B1 n B2 n B3, where Bi = Ai or
Bi = Ai*, and mark them on the appropriate Venn diagram.
(ii) Determine P[A3].
(iii) What is the probability that exactly one of the events A1, A2 and A3 occurs?
(iv) What is the probability that two or more of the events A1, A2 and A3 occur?
(v) What is the conditional probability that all of the events A1, A2 and A3 occur, given
that two or more of them have occurred?

The '*' means complement and 'n' means intersection.

Appreciate any help.

Hi, skhanal1. You have not posted your attempt at a solution yet. The PF rules state, you must list relevant equations yourself, and show your work; and then someone might check your math.

I am not able to provide specific answers to this probability problem without further context and information. However, I can provide some general guidance and insights.

First, it is important to understand the basic principles of probability, such as the definition of events, sample space, and probability calculations. It is also helpful to have a basic understanding of Venn diagrams, which can visually represent the relationships between events.

In this problem, we are given probabilities for events A1, A2, and A3, as well as conditional probabilities for these events. We are also asked to determine the probabilities of certain combinations of these events, as well as the probability of specific events occurring.

To solve this problem, we can use the given probabilities and conditional probabilities to calculate the probabilities of the eight events Bi (where i = 1, 2, 3) and mark them on a Venn diagram. This will help us visualize the relationships between these events and determine the probabilities of the combinations (B1 n B2 n B3).

To determine P[A3], we can use the given conditional probabilities to calculate P[A3|A1] and P[A3|A1*], and then use the formula P[A3] = P[A3|A1] * P[A1] + P[A3|A1*] * P[A1*]. This will give us the overall probability of event A3 occurring.

To find the probability that exactly one of the events A1, A2, and A3 occurs, we can use the formula P[exactly one event occurs] = P[A1 n A2* n A3*] + P[A1* n A2 n A3*] + P[A1* n A2* n A3]. This will give us the sum of the probabilities of the three possible combinations where only one event occurs.

Similarly, to find the probability that two or more of the events A1, A2, and A3 occur, we can use the formula P[two or more events occur] = P[A1 n A2 n A3] + P[A1 n A2* n A3] + P[A1 n A2 n A3*] + P[A1* n A2 n A3] + P[A1 n A2* n A3*] + P[A1* n A2 n A3*] + P[A1* n
