Math with probability 0.8. What is the probability of taking both
English and Math?
- Two mutually exclusive events A and B have P(A) = 0.2,
P(B) = 0.3. Find P (A or B).
- Two independent events A and B have P(A) = 0.2, P(B) =
0.3. Find P (A or B).
- If P (A | B) = 0.8 and P(B) = 0.6, find P (A and B).
