Answer:

0

Explanation:

P(E|F) = P(E and F)/P(F) = 0/0.2

Events that are mutually exclusive exclude each other. That means if one

occurs, the other is excluded. That means if one occurs, the other cannot

occur.

So that tells us that the probability of them both happening is impossible,

which mean P(E and F) = 0
