Show that $max{textbf{P}((Acup B)^{c}),textbf{P}(Acap B),textbf{P}(Atriangle B)}geqfrac{4}{9}$

Let $A$ and $B$ be independent events. Show that
begin{align*}
max{textbf{P}((Acup B)^{c}),textbf{P}(Acap B),textbf{P}(Atriangle B)}geqfrac{4}{9}
end{align*}



MY ATTEMPT



Since $textbf{P}(Acap B) = textbf{P}(A)textbf{P}(B)$, we have



begin{align*}
textbf{P}((Acup B)^{c}) & = 1 - textbf{P}(Acup B) = 1 - textbf{P}(A) - textbf{P}(B) + textbf{P}(Acap B)\
& = 1 - textbf{P}(A) - textbf{P}(B) + textbf{P}(A)textbf{P}(B)\
& = (1 - textbf{P}(A)) - textbf{P}(B)(1 - textbf{P}(A))\
& = (1 - textbf{P}(A))(1-textbf{P}(B)) = textbf{P}(A^{c})textbf{P}(B^{c})
end{align*}



Analagously, we get
begin{align*}
textbf{P}(Atriangle B) & = textbf{P}(A) + textbf{P}(B) - 2textbf{P}(Acap B) = textbf{P}(A) + textbf{P}(B) - 2textbf{P}(A)textbf{P}(B)\\
& = textbf{P}(A)(1 - textbf{P}(B)) + textbf{P}(B)(1-textbf{P}(A)) = textbf{P}(A)textbf{P}(B^{c}) + textbf{P}(A^{c})textbf{P}(B)
end{align*}



However, I do not know how to proceed from here. Am I on the right track? Could someone complete the proof? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As in the comment by Lord Shark The Unknown you can first set
$$ P(A) = p$$
and
$$P(B) = q.$$
Then the thesis becomes the following.




Show that the inequalities
begin{eqnarray}
pq &<& frac{4}{9}\
(1-p)(1-q) &<& frac{4}{9}\
p(1-q) + q(1-p) &<& frac{4}{9}
end{eqnarray}

cannot hold simultaneously.




Performing the following change of variables
begin{equation}
begin{cases}
p = frac{1}{2}(Q+P+1)\
q = frac{1}{2}(Q-P+1)
end{cases}
end{equation}

leads to the corresponding inequalities in terms of $P$ and $Q$, i.e.
begin{eqnarray}
(Q+1)^2 -P^2 &<& frac{16}{9}tag{1}label{uno}\
(Q-1)^2 -P^2 &<& frac{16}{9}tag{2}label{due}\
Q^2-P^2>frac{1}{9}tag{3}label{tre}
end{eqnarray}

which are areas delimited by hyperbolae (in red, green, and black respectively in the Figure). The red dashed area corresponds to the set of points $(P,Q)$ satisfying conditions eqref{uno} and eqref{due}. The black dashed areas mark te set of points that satisfy condition eqref{tre}. Therefore the three inequalities cannot be all true. And the thesis follows.

    @user1337, I noticed that expressing the conditions with respect to $(p,q)$ lead to curves that had a nicer representation once rotated by $frac{pi}{4}$ and with origin shifted by $left(frac{1}{2}, frac{1}{2}right)$, resulting in the substitution I proposed you. Maybe there are nicer way to approach the problem, of course.

@user1337, I noticed that expressing the conditions with respect to $(p,q)$ lead to curves that had a nicer representation once rotated by $frac{pi}{4}$ and with origin shifted by $left(frac{1}{2}, frac{1}{2}right)$, resulting in the substitution I proposed you. Maybe there are nicer way to approach the problem, of course.

@user1337, as a matter of fact, a rotation of $frac{pi}{4}$ should be enough to "see" the result. That is, ignoring the scaling factor, $P=p-q$ and $Q=p+q$.
