Which of the following is/are true?

  1. $P(A \cup B)=0.75$
  2. $P(A \cup C)=1$
  3. $P(B \cap C)=0.23$
  4. $P(B \cup C)=0.9$

(B) (C) FTTF.  (A) is false since $P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B)=0.7$.

(B) is true since $P(A \cup C)=P(A)+P(C)-P(A \cap C)=1$.

(C) is false. In view of Option (B),  $C=A^c$ and thus $P(B)=P(B \cap A)+P(B \cap C)$. So, $P(B \cap C) = 0.2 .$

(D) Using (C) it follows that $P(B \cup C)=0.8$.
