P(U and V) = 0

P(U or V) = 0.67

========================================

Step-by-step explanation:

P(U and V) = 0 since U and V are mutually exclusive. Such events cannot happen at the same time. Example: flipping a coin to get heads and tails at the same time.

-------

P(U or V) = P(U) + P(V) - P(U and V)

P(U or V) = 0.29 + 0.38 - 0

P(U or V) = 0.67

-------

I'm not sure about P(UV) since there doesn't seem to be enough information. Does your teacher mention if the events are independent or not?
