A and B Are Mutually Exclusive A and B Are Independent.: IB Questionbank Mathematics Higher Level 3rd Edition 1

This document contains 6 multi-part probability questions: 1) Finding probabilities of unions and conditionals for events A and B with given probabilities. Also finding a conditional probability given a union probability. 2) Illustrating student enrollments in Biology and History on a Venn diagram and finding probabilities of intersections. 3) Finding probability of event B given probabilities of A, their union, and a conditional. 4) Finding the probability a passenger traveled with a particular airline given luggage loss probabilities and flight numbers. 5) Finding the probability of the complement of the intersection of the complements of events A and B given various individual and union probabilities. 6) Multiple parts involving choosing balls from bags with replacement/without

Only two international airlines fly daily into an airport. UN Air has 70 flights a day and IS Air
has 65 flights a day. Passengers flying with UN Air have an 18 probability of losing their
luggage and passengers flying with IS Air have a 23 probability of losing their luggage. You
overhear someone in the airport complain about her luggage being lost.
Find the probability that she travelled with IS Air.
