P(A,B complement)>.25
P(A complement, B)>.25
P(A complement, B complement)> .125
We are comparing P(A, B) with 0.25
Look at the Venn diagram posted
First we notice that P(A,B complement)+ P(A complement, B)+ P(A complement, B complement)+ P(A,B)= P(S)= 1
Then we ask ourselves: when will P(A, B) be at its max?
When P(A,B complement), P(A complement, B), and P(A complement, B complement) are its lowest values.
That is when
P(A,B complement)=.25
P(A complement, B)= .25
P(A complement, B complement)= .125
Therefore
P(A,B)<1-P(A,B complement)- P(A complement, B)- P(A complement, B complement)= 1 - .25 - .25 - .125= .375
Therefore P(A,B) could be more or less than .25
Final Answer: D
