8/ P(R) = 0.62, P(T) = 0.75, and P(R 3 T) = 0.43, find:
| a) P(R') = [ 1 - P(R) = 0.38 ] | b) P(R 4 T) = [P(R) + P(T) - P(R 3 T) = 0.94 ] |
| c) P(R 3 T ') = [P(R) - P(R 3 T) = 0.19 ] | d) P(R 4 T ') = [P(R) + P(T ') - P(R 3 T ') = 0.68 ] |

9/ If one of these terms is selected at random, find each of the following probabilities:
| a) P(M) = 625/1000 = 0.625 | b) P(I') = 300/1000 = 0.3 | c) P(M'/Z) = 175/300 = 0.583 |
| d) P(F/I) = 200/700 = 0.286 | e) P(Z/M') = 175/375 = 0.467 | f) P(F'/Z') = 500/700 = 0.714 |

10/ P(R)= 0.4, P(C) = 0.5, P(R 3 C) = 0.25.
a) P(C 3 R) / P(R) = P(C / R) = 0.25/0.40 = [ 0.625 ]
b) P(R / C) = 0.25/0.50 = [ 0.5 ]
c) P(R 4 C) = 0.4 + 0.5 - 0.25 = [ 0.65 ]
d) If P(R) $ P(C) = P(R 3 C), the events are independent.
But 0.20 ! 0.25 so [ R and C are not independent events. ]
