...
(ii) 0.35 ... 0.25 0.6
(iii) 0.5 0.35 ...0.7

Solution:  
(i) P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)

(ii) P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) ⇒ 0.6 = 0.35 + P(B) – 0.25
∴ P(B) = 0.6 – 0.35 + 0.25 = 0.5
(iii) P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) ⇒ 0.7 = 0.5 + 0.35 – P(A ∩ B)
∴ P(A ∩ B) = 0.5 + 0.35 – 0.7 = 0.15
