Part (a) Finding the probability of either A or B

We are told that events A and B are mutually exclusive. This means they cannot happen at the same time. We can say P(A and B) = 0

Furthermore,

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

P(A or B) = 0.4 + 0.2 - 0

P(A or B) = 0.6

<h3>Answer:  0.6</h3>

=======================================================

Part (b) Finding the probability of neither A nor B

P(A or B) + P(neither A nor B) = 1

P(neither A nor B) = 1 - P(A or B)

P(neither A nor B) = 1 - 0.6

P(neither A nor B) = 0.4

The reason why this works is to imagine throwing a dart at the Venn diagram. You'll either...

  • you land in A or B (pick one but not both), OR,
  • you'll land outside both regions A and B.

One or the other must happen. Both events cannot happen simultaneously.

<h3>Answer: 0.4</h3>
