How do you find p(b) when p(a) is 23 p(ba) is 12 and p(a U b) is 45 and is a dependent event?

There are symbols missing from your question which I cam struggling to guess and re-insert. p(a) = 2/3 p(b ??? a) = 1/2 p(a ∪ b) = 4/5 p(b) = ? Why use the set notation of Union on the third given probability whereas the second probability has something missing but the "sets" are in the other order, and the order wouldn't matter in sets. There are two possibilities: 1) The second probability is: p(b ∩ a) = p(a ∩ b) = 1/2 → p(a) + p(b) = p(a ∪ b) + p(a ∩ b) → p(b) = p(a ∪ b) + p(a ∩ b) - p(a) = 4/5 + 1/2 - 2/3 = 24/30 + 15/30 - 20/30 = 19/30 2) The second and third probabilities are probabilities of "given that", ie: p(b|a) = 1/2 p(a|b) = 4/5 → Use Bayes theorem: p(b)p(a|b) = p(a)p(b|a) → p(b) = (p(a)p(b|a))/p(a|b) = (2/3 × 1/2) / (4/5) = 2/3 × 1/2 × 5/4 = 5/12

How might two probabilities be added?

If A and B are two events then P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)


What is the Formula for odds for either of two events?

If A and B are mutually exclusive event then Probability of A or B is P(A)+P(B). If they are not mutually exclusive then it is that minus the probability of the P(A)+P(B) That is to say P( A or B)= P(A)+P(B)- P(A and B). Of course it is clear that if they are mutually exclusive, P(A and B)=0 and we have the first formula.


What is addition theorem of probability?

Consider events A and B. P(A or B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) The rule refers to the probability that A can happen, or B can happen, or both can happen together. That is what is stated in the addition rule. Often P(A and B ) is zero, if they are mutually exclusive. In this case the rule just becomes P(A or B)= P(A) + P(B).
