<pre>

(a)  p(E or F) = apply the general formula     = p(E) + P(F) - p(E and F) = 


               = now substitute the given data = 0.6 + 0.4 - 0.15 = 0.85.    <U>ANSWER</U>




(B)  p(E^c) = the complement to p(E) = 1 - p(E) = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4.             <U>ANSWER</U>




(C)  the set ( E and F^c)  consists of those elements of E that do not belong to F.

     In other words,  ( E and F^c)  is  E \ (E and F).


     Therefore,  p(E and F^c) = p(E) - p(E and F) = 0.6 - 0.15 = 0.45.       <U>ANSWER</U>
