Question Number 21580 by ketto last updated on 28/Sep/17

Because A and B mutually exclusive, then  P (A ∩ B) = 0  and  P (A ∪ B) = 1    P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) − P (A ∩ B)           1 = (3/7) + P (B) − 0  P (B) = (4/7)

$$\mathrm{Because}\:{A}\:\mathrm{and}\:{B}\:\mathrm{mutually}\:\mathrm{exclusive},\:\mathrm{then} \\ $$$${P}\:\left({A}\:\cap\:{B}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{and} \\ $$$${P}\:\left({A}\:\cup\:{B}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${P}\:\left({A}\:\cup\:{B}\right)\:=\:{P}\:\left({A}\right)\:+\:{P}\:\left({B}\right)\:−\:{P}\:\left({A}\:\cap\:{B}\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{1}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{7}}\:+\:{P}\:\left({B}\right)\:−\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${P}\:\left({B}\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{7}} \\ $$
