Let A and B be events. The symmetric difference A?B is defined to be the set of all elements that are in A or B but not both. In logic and engineering, this event is also called the XOR (exclusive or) of A and B.
Show that P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B)-2P(AnB), directly using the axioms of probability.

Correction:

P(AΔB) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(AnB)

is what could be proven using the axioms of probability, and considering the case of symmetric difference given.

P(AΔB) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(AnB)

Has been shown.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to show that

P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(AnB)

directly using the axioms of probability.

Note the following:

AUB = (AΔB) U (AnB)

Because (AΔB) U (AnB) is disjoint, we have:

P(AUB) = P(AΔB) + P(AnB)(1)

But again,

P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)(2)

Comparing (1) with (2), we have

P(AΔB) + P(AnB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)

P(AΔB) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(AnB)

Where AΔB is the symmetric difference of A and B.

the range is 19

step-by-step explanation:

the range is biggest number minus the smallest, so in this case it would be

41 - 22 = 19

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
