Question

A and B are two non- mutually exclusive and independent events.

P (A) = 0.50

P (B) = 0.60

what is the probability that neither event A nor event B will occur?

Answer 1

P(A) not occuring $(1-0.50)=0.50$

P(B) not occuring $(1-0.60)=0.40$

Hence probability that neither event A nor event B will occur is $(0.50×0.40)=0.20$
