1) To prove P(E U F) >= 0.8, first express E U F as the union of 2 disjoint events (hint: consider set difference between F and E). Then use theorem 1 from page 404.
2) To prove P(EF) >= 0.4, use inclusion-exclusion principle, then use the fact that P(E U F) <= 1.

There is an example in the book just like this one if you look at problem 11. The solution to 11 is written in the back of the book.__
