If A and B are two disjoint events associated with the sample space S and F is any event of S such that P(F)0, then find P((AB)F).

The tree diagram given below shows the outcomes for Hildy choosing an outfit from 3 different pairs of pants and 3 different shirts. Assuming there is an equal chance of Hildy choosing from any of the pants and shirts. Then prove that the probability that Hildy will choose the blue pants and red shirt is 19.
