Okay, Dany. Let's complete the previous question first, then move on to the new one.

(i) Given P(A)=12P(A)=\frac{1}{2}, P(Bc)=56P(B^c)=\frac{5}{6}, and P(A∪B)=512P(A \cup B)=\frac{5}{12}.

Step 1: Calculate P(B)P(B).

P(B)=1−P(Bc)P(B) = 1 - P(B^c) P(B)=1−56P(B) = 1 - \frac{5}{6} P(B)=16P(B) = \frac{1}{6}

a) Find P(A∩B)P(A \cap B).

Step 2: Use the Addition Rule for Probability.
