Given $P(A)=\frac{3}{5}$ and $P(B)=\frac{1}{5}$. Find $P(A $  or  $B),$ if $A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive events.

A

$\frac{4}{5}$

B

$\frac{4}{5}$

C

$\frac{4}{5}$

D

$\frac{4}{5}$

Solution

Here, $P ( A )=\frac{3}{5} $,  $P ( B )=\frac{1}{5}$

For mutually exclusive events $A$ and $B,$

$P ( A $ or $B )= P ( A )+ P ( B )$

$P ( A $ or $B )=\frac{3}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}$
