Question

g If A and B are disjoint events, with P( A) = 0.20 and P( B) = 0.30. Then P( A and B) is: a. .00 b. .10 c. .50 d. 0.06

Answer 1

Answer: A) 0

P(A and B) = 0 when events A and B are disjoint, aka mutually exclusive.

We say that two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot happen at the same time. An example would be flipping a coin to have it land on heads and tails at the same time.
