Question:
(d) If \( P(A) = 0.5 \), \( P(B) = 0.4 \), and \( A \) and \( B \) are independent events, then find the values of (A) \( P(A \cap B) \) and (B) \( P(A \cup B) \).
(d) If \( P(A) = 0.5 \), \( P(B) = 0.4 \), and \( A \) and \( B \) are independent events, then find the values of (A) \( P(A \cap B) \) and (B) \( P(A \cup B) \).
Show Hint
For independent events, multiply probabilities for \( P(A \cap B) \) and use the union formula for \( P(A \cup B) \).

Solution and Explanation
(A) For independent events:
\[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) = 0.5 \cdot 0.4 = 0.2. \](B) Using the formula:
\[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B). \]Substituting values:
\[ P(A \cup B) = 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.2 = 0.7. \]Was this answer helpful?
