Question

Let A and B be two disjoint events such that P(A)=0.12 and P(B)=0.59. What is P(A and B) ? 0 0.71 0.6392 0.0708

Answer 1

Answer: 0

Reason:

Disjoint events, aka mutually exclusive events, cannot happen at the same time. For example, flipping "heads" and "tails" at the same time is not possible. Therefore, we can write P(A and B) = 0 to indicate this impossibility.
