To solve the problem, we need to find the probability of neither event A nor event B occurring, given that the probabilities of events A and B are 0.5 and 0.3 respectively, and that they are mutually exclusive events. **Step 1: Understand the concept of mutually exclusive events.** Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot occur at the same time. This means that the intersection of events A and B is empty, or mathematically, P(A ∩ B) = 0. **Step 2: Calculate the probability of the union of events A and B.** The probability of the union of two events A and B is given by the formula: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] ...
