Question:

Let A1, A2, and A3 be three events in a sample space Ω, which are not necessarily pairwise disjoint.

(i) Prove that P(A1 ∪ A2 ∪ A3) ≤ P(A1) + P(A2) + P(A3).

(ii) Show that the equality P(A1 ∪ A2 ∪ A3) = P(A1) + P(A2) + P(A3)

holds if and only if P(A1A2) + P(A1A3) + P(A2A3) = P(A1A2A3).
