Three events A, B and C are defined in the sample space S. The events A and B are mutually exclusive and A and C are independent. What is P(AuuB)P(A∪B)?
P(A) = 0.2, P(B) = 0.4P(A)=0.2,P(B)=0.4 and P(A uu C) = 0.7P(A∪C)=0.7

P( A uu B) = 0.6 P(A∪B)=0.6
Explanation:
If
P(A nn B) = 0 P(A∩B)=0
And , We know that:
P( A uu B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A nn B ) P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)
" " = 0.2 + 0.4 - 0 =0.2+0.4−0
" " = 0.6 =0.6
