Question

Assume that event a occurs with probability 0.6 and event b does not occur with probability 0.6. assume that a and b are disjoint events. the probability that either event occurs (a or b) is:_________

Answer 1

Using Venn probabilities, it is found that the probability that either event occurs (a or b) is: 1.

What is a Venn probability?

In a Venn probability, two non-independent events are related with each other, as are their probabilities.

The "or probability" is given by:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

In this problem, we have that the probabilities are given as follows:

• P(A) = 0.6.

• P(B) = 0.4.

• P(A and B) = 0, as they are disjoint.

Hence the probability that either occurs is:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) = 0.6 + 0.4 - 0 = 1.
