The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability of the intersection of two mutually exclusive events A and B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Mutually Exclusive Events**: - Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot occur at the same time. This means that if one event occurs, the other cannot. 2. **Identify Given Probabilities**: - We are given: - \( P(A) = 0.45 \) - \( P(B) = 0.35 \) 3. **Determine the Probability of the Intersection**: - For mutually exclusive events A and B, the probability of their intersection, denoted as \( P(A \cap B) \), is defined as: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0 \] - This is because there are no outcomes that are common to both events A and B. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the probability of the intersection of A and B is: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0 \] ### Final Answer: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0 \]
