: Let A and B be two mutually exclusive events of a sample space S. If P(A) = 0.6 and P(B) = 0.2, find each of the following probabilities.
(a) P(A∩B)
(c) P(AUB)-this has the element line over both A and B

2 events are mutually exclusive then P(AinterB)=0
P(A*UB*)=P(S)=1 because A*UB*=S when A and B are mutually exclusive
where
A* = A with the element line above and
B* = B with the element line above
