The formula for finding the probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events is:
P(S or T) = P(S) + P(T)
Given that P(S) = 5/8 and P(T) = 1/8, we can substitute these values into the formula:
P(S or T) = 5/8 + 1/8
P(S or T) = 6/8
P(S or T) = 0.750
Therefore, the probability of either event S or event T occurring is 0.750 or 75.0%.
P(S or T) = P(S) + P(T)
Given that P(S) = 5/8 and P(T) = 1/8, we can substitute these values into the formula:
P(S or T) = 5/8 + 1/8
P(S or T) = 6/8
P(S or T) = 0.750
Therefore, the probability of either event S or event T occurring is 0.750 or 75.0%.
