Suppose S and T are mutually exclusive events, P(S) = 30%, and P(T) = 24%. Find P(S or T).
A) 6%
B) 54%
C) 720%
D) 7.2%

Answer 1

Answer: 54%

Explanation:

In probability and logic theory, two events are said to be mutually exclusive or disjoint when both events cannot occur or happen at the same time.

A clear example of mutually exclusive event is the set of outcomes of a single toss of a coin which can either result in heads or tails, but can not be both.

P(S) = 30%, and P(T) = 24%

P(S or T) = P(S) or P(T) = 30% + 24%

= 54%
