Question

P(S) = 5/8
P(T) = 1/8
If S and T are mutually exclusive events, find P(S or T),

Answer 1

Answer:

P(S ∪ T) = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• P(S) = 5/8
• P(T) = 1/8

For mutually exclusive events S and T,

P(S ∪ T) = P(S) + P(T)

Therefore,

P(S ∪ T) = (5/8) + (1/8)

              = 6/8

              = 3/4
