Question

It is known that the events A and B are mutually exclusive and that P(A)=0.59 and P(B)= 0.13. Find P(A and B)

Answer 1

Recall that Two events A and B are mutually exclusive if they cannot happen at the same time.

Hence, the probability that both of them will occur at the same time is zero. That is,

`P(A\; \text{and}\; B)=0`

The required probabilty is 0.
