if event A and B are mutually exclusive, where P(A)= 0.26 and P(B)= 0.4 then P(A and B) = ..? thanks a bunch!

add em up

0.66

because these 2 probability reprsent differnt things no intersection with their outcomes

yeah I was thinking about that too but it seemed too easy lol thanks so much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mutually exclusive means 'If one event occurs the other cannot occur.' So, probability of both to happen at the same time time is zero.

answer is zero. 'and' implies 'intersection' 'or' implies 'union'
