A)A and B are also independent.
B)P(A $\cup$ B) = P(A)P(B)
C)P(A $\cup$ B) = P(A) + P(B)
D)P(A $\cup$ B) = P(A) + P(B).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For mutually exclusive events, the probability of either event A or event B occurring is the sum of their individual probabilities, i.e., P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B).

Events a and B Are Mutually Exclusive ∪\cup∪ B) = P(A)P(B) C)P(A

Events a and B Are Mutually Exclusive $\cup$ B) = P(A)P(B)
C)P(A
