Question 1172476
.
<pre>

(i)  Events A and B are mutually exclusive if and only if  P(A ∩ B) = 0.


     Since in our case  P(A ∩ B) = 0.231 is not zero, the events A and B are NOT mutually exclusive.




{ii) Check if  P(A)*P(B) = P(A ∩ B).


     This condition is a necessary and sufficient condition for events A and B to be independent.


     You can easily make this simple check on your own.
