Give `P(A) =3/5`and `P(B) =1/5dot`Find `P(A or B)`, if A and B are mutually exclusive events.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
N/a
Here `P(A)=3/5, P(B)=1/5`
Given that A and B are mutually exclusive events.
`:. AnnB=phi`
`impliesP(AnnB)=0`
Now, `P(A "or"B)=P(AuuB)`
`=P(A)+P(B)-P(AnnB)`
`=3/5+1/5-0=4/5`
