Question

The probability of event ???? is P(????)=0.5 , and the probability of event ???? is P(????)=0.7 . Are ???? and ???? disjoint? no yes It is impossible to determine from the information given.

Answer 1

Answer:

A and B are not disjoint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are two events A and B with prob

P(A)=0.5,

P(B)=0.7

If A and B are disjoint, there should not be any common element between A and B

P(AB) should be 0

But here we find P(A) + P(B) = 1.2>1

Since total probability is 1, there must be 0.2 atleast in P(AB)

which implies A and B cannot be disjoint.

A and B are not disjoint.
