For the events A and B P (A) = 0.3 and P (B) = 0.4
a) Find P (A U B) if A and B are independent events.
b) Find P(A' ∩ B') if A and B are mutually exclusive events.
a) P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) = 0.3 + 0.4 - 0.3*0.4 = 0.7 - 0.12 = 0.58
b) P(A' ∩ B') = 1 - P(A U B) = 1 - (.3 + .4) = 0.3

a) P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) = 0.3 + 0.4 - 0.3*0.4 = 0.7 - 0.12 = 0.58
b) P(A' ∩ B') = 1 - P(A U B) = 1 - (.3 + .4) = 0.3
