If A and B are mutually exclusive then?
Correct answer: B. P(AandB)=0
- A. P(AorB) =0
- B. P(AandB)=0
- C. P(AnorB)=0
- D. P(AeitherB)=0
Explanation
Mutually exclusive events cannot occur together, so their intersection is empty and P(A and B) equals zero. Their union need not be zero because either event may still occur.
