4. The events \(A\) and \(B\) are such that $$\mathrm { P } ( A ) = 0.5 , \mathrm { P } ( B ) = 0.42 \text { and } \mathrm { P } ( A \cup B ) = 0.76$$ Find
  1. \(\mathrm { P } ( A \cap B )\),
  2. \(\quad \mathrm { P } \left( A ^ { \prime } \cup B \right)\),
  3. \(\mathrm { P } \left( B \mid A ^ { \prime } \right)\).
  4. Show that events \(A\) and \(B\) are not independent.
