Minimum value of probability of events

40 Views Asked by At

I have to prove the following -:

For any two events A and B, show that $$(P(A∩B))^2 +(P(A∩B'))^2 +(P(A' ∩B))^2 +(P(A' ∩B'))^2 ≥ 1/4$$

$X' := X^C$

Hint: $$P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B^C)+P(A^C \cap B)+P(A^C \cap B^C)=1$$

What combination of these minimizes the sum?
