Check whether the following probabilities $P(A)$ and $P(B)$ are consistently defined $P ( A )=0.5$, $ P ( B )=0.7$, $P ( A \cap B )=0.6$
Check whether the following probabilities $P(A)$ and $P(B)$ are consistently defined $P ( A )=0.5$, $ P ( B )=0.7$, $P ( A \cap B )=0.6$
$P ( A )=0.5$, $P ( B )=0.7$, $P (A \cap B)=0.6$
It is known that if $E$ and $F$ are two events such that $E \subset F,$ then $P ( E ) \leq P ( F )$
However, $P (A \cap B)> P ( A )$
Hence, $P ( A )$ and $P ( B )$ are not consistently defined.

For the three events $A, B$ and $C, P$ (exactly one of the events $A$ or $B$ occurs) = $P$ (exactly one of the events $B$ or $C$ occurs)= $P$ (exactly one of the events $C$ or $A$ occurs)= $p$ and $P$ (all the three events occur simultaneously) $ = {p^2},$ where $0 < p < 1/2$. Then the probability of at least one of the three events $A, B$ and $C$ occurring is
