If E and F are two independent events an...

If `E` and `F` are two independent events and `P(E)=1/3,P(F)=1/4,` then find `P(EuuF)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
N/a
For independent events E and F
`P(EnnF)=P(E).P(F)`…………..1
`.P(EuuF)=P(E)+P(F)-P(EnnF)`
`=P(E)+P(F)-P(E).P(F)`
[From eq 1 ]
`=1/3+1/4-1/3xx1/4=(4+3-1)/12=6/12=1/2`
