Chapter 5: Q 10. (page 246)

A, B, and C are mutually exclusive events such that P(A)=0.2,P(B)=0.6,and P(C)=0.1. Find P(AorBorC).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability ofP(AorBorC)=0.9.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

A, B, and C are mutually exclusive events such thatP(A)=0.2,P(B)=0.6,andP(C)=0.1

02

Step 2. Find P(A or B or C) .

If A and B are events, and they are mutually exclusive, it means:

P(A&B)=P(B&C)=P(C&A)=P(A&B&C)=0

Therefore, the probability if events A, B, and C are mutually exclusive will become:

PAorBorC=PA+PB+PC=0.2+0.6+0.1=0.9
