Question

It is known that the events ANB are mutually exclusive that p(a)=0.60 and p(b)=0.16

Answer 1

The probability of two mutually exclusive events to happen simultaniously can be described as below:

`P(A\text{ and }B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)`

We can replace the terms above with the probabilities to determine the answer for this problem.

`P(A\text{ and }B)=0.6\cdot0.16=0.096`

The probability of both events happening simultaneously is 0.096.
