Question 410448: Suppose that an experiment has five separate mutually
exclusive outcomes: A, B, C, D, and E. If the sample
space for the experiment is a uniform sample space,
what is P (A or E) ?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P(A U E) = P(A) + P(E) = 1/5 + 1/5 = 2/5 due to mutual exclusivity, and definition of discrete uniform distribution.
