(a)  P(A n B) = P(A)*P(B) = 0.3*0.5 = 0.15.    ANSWER


(b)  P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A n B) = 0.3 + 0.5 - 0.15 = 0.65.    ANSWER

Solved. // Standard and classic formulas for probabilities.

See any textbook on probability - - - for example, your own textbook.

HINT. In order for to see formulas in your textbook, you should OPEN your textbook first.

Next, you should FIND appropriate formulas there.
