Events $E$ and $F$ are such that $P ( $ not $E$ not $F )=0.25,$ State whether $E$ and $F$ are mutually exclusive.
It is given that $P$ (not $E$ or not $F$ ) $=0.25$
i.e., $P \left( E ^{\prime} \cap F ^{\prime}\right)=0.25$
$\Rightarrow P ( E \cap F )^{\prime} =0.25$ $[ E^{\prime} \cup F^{\prime} =( E \cap F )^{\prime}]$
Now, $P ( E \cap F )=1- P ( E \cap F )^{\prime}$
$\Rightarrow P ( E \cap F )=1-0.25$
$\Rightarrow P ( E \cap F )=0.75 \neq 0$
$\Rightarrow E \cap F \neq \phi$
Thus, $E$ and $F$ are not mutually exclusive.
Let $E$ and $F$ be two independent events. The probability that both $E$ and $F$ happens is $\frac{1}{{12}}$ and the probability that neither $E$ nor $F$ happens is $\frac{1}{2},$ then
The probabilities of three mutually exclusive events are $\frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$. The statement is
Given two independent events $A$ and $B$ such that $P(A) $ $=0.3, \,P(B)=0.6$ Find $P(A$ and $B)$.
The probabilities that $A$ and $B$ will die within a year are $p$ and $q$ respectively, then the probability that only one of them will be alive at the end of the year is
For two given events $A$ and $B$, $P\,(A \cap B) = $
