两只债券各自的违约概率分别为 30% 与 50%。问:至少有一只债券违约的概率可能落在什么范围内?

Two bonds have individual default probabilities of 30% and 50%. What is the possible range for the probability that at least one of the two bonds defaults?

解析

设事件 AABB 分别表示两只债券违约,P(A)=0.3, P(B)=0.5\mathbb{P}(A)=0.3,\ \mathbb{P}(B)=0.5

由容斥:

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)=0.8P(AB).\mathbb{P}(A\cup B)=\mathbb{P}(A)+\mathbb{P}(B)-\mathbb{P}(A\cap B)=0.8-\mathbb{P}(A\cap B).

而交集概率满足

max{0,P(A)+P(B)1}P(AB)min{P(A),P(B)},\max\{0,\,\mathbb{P}(A)+\mathbb{P}(B)-1\}\le \mathbb{P}(A\cap B)\le \min\{\mathbb{P}(A),\mathbb{P}(B)\},

0P(AB)0.30\le \mathbb{P}(A\cap B)\le 0.3

因此

0.80.3P(AB)0.800.5P(AB)0.8.0.8-0.3\le \mathbb{P}(A\cup B)\le 0.8-0 \Rightarrow \boxed{0.5\le \mathbb{P}(A\cup B)\le 0.8}.
