Question

If A and B are two independent events, then prove that the probability of occurrence of at least one of A and B is given by 1 – P(A’) · P(B’)
Required probability = P(A U B)
= P(A) + P(B) – P(A) · P(B)
= P(A) [1 – P(B)] + 1 – P(B’)
= P(A) P(B’) – P(B’) + 1
= (1 – P(B’) (1 – P(A))
= 1 – P(A’) P(B’)
