If $E$ and $F$ are events such that $P(E)=\frac{1}{4}$, $P(F)=\frac{1}{2}$ and $P(E$ and $F )=\frac{1}{8},$ find $:$ $P($ not $E$ and not $F)$.
If $E$ and $F$ are events such that $P(E)=\frac{1}{4}$, $P(F)=\frac{1}{2}$ and $P(E$ and $F )=\frac{1}{8},$ find $:$ $P($ not $E$ and not $F)$.
Here, $P ( E )=\frac{1}{4}$, $P ( F )=\frac{1}{2},$ and $P ( E $ and $F )=\frac{1}{8}$
From $P ( E$ or $F )= P (E \cup F)=\frac{5}{8}$
We have $( E \cup F ) ^{\prime}=\left( E ^{\prime} \cap F ^{\prime}\right)$ $[$ By De Morgan's law $]$
$\therefore $ $( E ^{\prime} \cap F^{\prime})= P ( E \cup F ) ^{\prime}$
Now, $P ( E \cap F )^{\prime} =1- P ( E \cup F )$ $=1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8}$
$\therefore $ $P(E^{\prime} \cap F^{\prime})=\frac{3}{8}$
Thus, $P($ not $E$ not $F)=\frac{3}{8}$
