Question 1143525: If P(A)=3/8 and P(B)=1/4,find:
4.1.1 P(A or B) if A and B are mutually exclusive events.
4.1.2 P(A or B) if A and B are independent events.
4.2 A car park has 14 VOLKSWAGEN cars and 18 BMW's.There are no cars.
During the afternoon two cars are stolen -one early afternoon,the other later.
Determine the probability that:
4.2.1 Both cars were BMW's.
4.2.2 The first one stolen was a BMW and the second one was a Volkswagen.

4.1
------

If A and B are mutually exclusive events, then

    P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).



If A and B are independent events, then

    P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)*P(B).

4.2

The formulation is DEFECTIVE.

Check it with your source; then fix and re-edit; then re-post to the forum.

ONE and ONLY ONE problem per post.

Instead of packing many problems in one post inaccurately, you better submit one problem per post accurately (!)
