1) A1 A2 be two events, show that P (A1 ∩ A2) ≤ P (A1)P

1) A1 A2 be two events, show that P (A1 ∩ A2) ≤ P (A1) . P (A2)
2) show that P (A1 ∩ A2 ∩ ... ... An) ≤ P (A1) . P (A2) . ... ... ... ... P (An)
4)
show that P (A + B) + P (/ A + / B) = 1

I have problems with these exercises. I don't know if I copied them wrong.
thanks

Why don't you look and see if you copied them wrong?

What if A1 = A2 and P(A1) = 1/2?

And what does A+B mean for sets A and B? And what does /A mean?

I don't have the original statements, but we were looking for a counterexample. The last one instead of plus is union and / is complement. I am sure that one is false too.

Me too.

but we were looking for a counterexample.

So that means you are trying to disprove them. It would have been useful if you had of stated that at the outset.

1) A1 A2 be two events, show that ... etc.

Are Venn diagrams good enough for demonstrating this?[/color]

thanks everybody for the help. At the beginning we didnt know if there were ok or not. Now we are sure. thanks
