Question: Suppose (Omega) = {a,b,c}, P({a,b}) = 0.7 , and P({b,c}) = 0.6 Compute the :?: of {a}, {b}, {c}


Need Help with this one
 
\(\displaystyle \L
\begin{array}{rcl}
P(A \cup B) &= & P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \\
1 &= & P\left( {\left\{ {a,b,c} \right\}} \right) = P\left( {\left\{ {a,b} \right\}} \right) + P\left( {\left\{ {b,c} \right\}} \right) - P\left( {\left\{ {a,b} \right\} \cap \left\{ {b,c} \right\}} \right) \\
\end{array}\)
