Question

Given independent events A and B such that P(A) = 0.3 and P (B) = 0.5, which of the following is a correct statement?

Answer 1

Answer:

(D) P(AUB) = 0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Since A and B are independent:

P(A ^ B)

= P(A) × P(B)

= 0.3 × 0.5 = 0.15

P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A^B)

= 0.3 + 0.5 - 0.15

= 0.65
