Question

A and B are mutually exclusive events. PA) = 0.50 and P(B) = 0.30. What is
PA or B)?

Answer 1

P(A∪B)=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A and B are mutually exclusive events such that,

P(A)=0.5 and P(B)=0.3

We need to find P(A or B). It means we need to find P(A∪B). If two events are mutually exclusive, P(A∩B)=0. So,

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

Putting P(A) and P(B), we get :

P(A∪B)=0.5+0.3-0

P(A∪B)=0.8

So, the value of P(A or B) is 0.8
