is known that A and B are events.
now i asked to decide form the options A-D which one can have the X value.

so i tried to use the De Morgan's laws but i am not sure if this is the correct way.
so i need help here.

thanks.

No, it's not. What you need to do is to eliminate that three answers that aren't possible.

You're given P(A) = .5 and P(B) = .8. The four answers are A) 0, B) .4, C) .8, and D) 1.
 
ok i got the answer B=0.4

do i correct?
 
thank you very much for helping.
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
