The Probability that atleast one of the two
5
Independent events occur is 0.5. Probability that
first event occurs but not the second is (3/25).
Also the probability that the second event occurs
but not the first is (8/25). Find the probability
that none of the two event occurs

let A and B be the independent events. They are not exclusive. Their intersection need not be a null set or null event. ~A and ~B are the events when A and B do not occur respectively.
probability that at least one of A or B occur = P (A U B) = 1/2
Probability that none of the two events occurs = P(~A) AND P(~B)
= 1 - P(A U B)
= 1 - 1/2 = 1/2
It is simple. when none of the events occurs, it is the compliment of at least one of the events occurs.
===============================
P (A - B ) = Probability that A occurs but not B
= P (A) - P(A Π B)
= probability of A - probability of intersection of A and B
P(A) - P(A Π B) = 3/25
similarly, P(B) - P(A Π B) = 8/25
we know that
P(A U B) = P (A) + [ P(B) - P(A Π B) ]
=> 1/2 = P (A) + 8/25
=> P(A) = 1/2 - 8/25 = 9/25
Similarly, P(A U B) = P(B) + [ P(A) - P(A Π B) ]
=> 1/2 = P(B) + 3/25
=> P(B) = 1/2 - 3/25 = 19/25
=> P(A) + P(B) = 28/25
=> P( A Π B) = P (A ) + P(B) - P(A U B) = 9/25 + 19/25 - 1/2
= 31/50
=> P(~A) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 9/25 = 16/25
=> P(~B) = 1 - P(B) = 1 - 19/25 = 6/25
probability that at least one of A or B occur = P (A U B) = 1/2

= 1 - P(A U B)
