Here's the solution to question 1:

1. (i) Events A and B
Given:
P(A′∩B)=17P(A' \cap B) = \frac{1}{7}
P(A∩B)=29P(A \cap B) = \frac{2}{9}

a) Calculate P(B)P(B)
The event B can be expressed as the union of two disjoint events: (A∩B)(A \cap B) and (A′∩B)(A' \cap B).
Therefore, P(B)=P(A∩B)+P(A′∩B)P(B) = P(A \cap B) + P(A' \cap B).

P(B)=29+17P(B) = \frac{2}{9} + \frac{1}{7}

To add these fractions, find a common denominator, which is $
