To solve all 5 problems from (a) to (e), use one general formula of the probability theory


    P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).


When use it for each separate part, substitute all given relevant input values into the formula.


After that, find a single unknown value from the equation.

Happy solving (!)
