If A and B are mutually exclusive events, then they cannot both occur at the same time. Therefore, the probability of either event A or event B occurring can be calculated by adding their individual probabilities:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) = 0.3 + 0.5 = 0.8
Therefore, if A and B are mutually exclusive events, the probability of either A or B occurring is 0.8.
P (A) = 0.3 and P (B) = 0.5
Calculate P (A or B) if
a. Aand B are mutually exclusive events.
