Events A, B, and C have the following probabilities of future occurrence:
On the basis of these probabilities, select for Both A and B a description that must be true of the probability that both A and B will occur. And select for B or C or Both a description that must be true of the probability that B or C or both will occur. Make only two selections, one in each column.
A: 20%
B: 50%
C: 80%
B: 50%
C: 80%

I think of these as Sets questions, not probability.
A = 20
B = 50
C = 80
(Total = 100)
Select for Both A and B a description that must be true of the probability that both A and B will occur.
If we were to calculate both A and B, it will have a maximum value of 20 because A itself is 20. So both cannot be more than that.
ANSWER: Must be less than or equal to 20%
And select for B or C or Both a description that must be true of the probability that B or C or both will occur
If we were to calculate B or C or Both, this is our standard n(B or C) given by formula
n(B or C) = n(B) + n(C) - n(Both)
Recall we subtract Both because it is counted twice. 'Both B and C' will be maximum 50 because B is 50.
So minimum value of B or C = 50 + 80 - 50 = 80
ANSWER: Must be greater than or equal to 80%
