Question

The probability of occurrence of event a is 0.1 and that of event b is 0.2. the events are mutually exclusive. what is the probability of occurrence of both a and b?

Answer 1

Mutually exclusive is a term that is used to define two or more events cannot occur at the same time.

The events A and B are mutually exclusive. So, the probability of their
occurence is zero.

The answer is 0

Hope it helps

Answer 2

The probability of occurrence of both A and B = P(A n B) = 0

Explanation:

Both event A and B are mutually exclusive,that means not a single elements in A is equal with single elements in B

Hence A n B = { }

So, P(A n B) = 0
