Question 1182373: Assume that we have two events, A and B, that are mutually exclusive. Assume further that
we know P(A) # .30 and P(B) # .40.
a. What is P(A $ B)?
b. What is P(A ' B)?
c. A student in statistics argues that the concepts of mutually exclusive events and independent events are really the same, and that if events are mutually exclusive they must
be independent. Do you agree with this statement? Use the probability information in
this problem to justify your answer.
d. What general conclusion would you make about mutually exclusive and independent
events given the results of this problem?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
What is written in parts (a) and (b) ?
////////////
What is written there, is UNREADABLE, since you use non-standard symbols.
May I give an advice to you:
Instead of posting many questions in one post, many of which are unreadable,
you better change your strategy and post few questions, but write them accurately.
Then you will learn and will get much more in response from us, the tutors.
