(Axioms of Probability) Prove the union bound: n P [∪n Ak ] ≤ k=1 P [Aj ]. j=1 The union bound is useful because it does not require that the events Aj be independent or disjoint. Problem 1 Solution We prove this part by induction‚ for k = 2 we have P (A1 ∪ A2 ) = P (A1 ) + P (A2 ) − P (A1 ∩ A2 ) ≤ P (A1 ) + P (A2 ) (1) Now‚ assume that
