Answer:

A and B are not mutually exclusive

Explanation:

A and B are not mutually exclusive because P(A and B) > 0. If A and B were mutually exclusive, then they would have no outcomes in common and the probability of their intersection would be zero. However, in this case, they do share some outcomes, since P(A and B) is greater than zero.

Let A and B be events with P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.6, and P(A and B) = 0.03. Are A and B mutually exclusive? Explain why or why not.
