Answer:

(a) P (U and V) = 0.

(b) P (U|V) = 0.

(c) P (U or V) = 0.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually exclusive events are those events that cannot occur at the same time. That is, if events A and B are mutually exclusive then,

                                         [tex]P (A\cap B) = 0[/tex]

Given:

Events U and V are mutually exclusive.

P (U) = 0.27 and P (V) = 0.56

(a)

As events U and V are mutually exclusive, the probability of their intersection will be 0.

That is,

[tex]P(U\ and\ V) = P (U\cap V) = 0[/tex]

Thus, the value of P (U and V) is 0.

(b)

The conditional probability of event B given A is:

[tex]P(B|A) =\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}[/tex]

Compute the value of P (U|V) as follows:

[tex]P(U|V) =\frac{P(U\cap V)}{P(V)}\\=\frac{0}{0.56}\\ =0[/tex]

Thus, the value of P (U|V) is 0.

(c)

The probability of the union of two events, say A and B, is

[tex]P(A\ or\ B)=P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)[/tex]

Compute the value of P (U or V) as follows:

[tex]P(U\ or\ V)=P(U\cup V)\\=P(U)+P(V)-P(U\cap V)\\=0.27+0.56-0\\=0.83[/tex]

Thus, the value of P (U or V) is 0.83.

The events U and V are mutually exclusive. So, the value of P(U and V) is 0, the value of P(U|V) is 0, and the value of P(U or V) is 0.83 and this can be determined by using the given data.

Given :

  • P(U) = 0.27
  • P(V) = 0.56
  • U and V are mutually exclusive events.

A) P(U and V)

P(U and V) = P(U [tex]\cap[/tex] V) = 0

Because U and V are mutually exclusive events.

B) P(U|V)

[tex]\rm P(U|V) = \dfrac{P(U\cap V)}{P(V)}[/tex]

[tex]\rm P(U|V) = \dfrac{0}{0.56}[/tex]

P(U|V) = 0

C) P(U or V)

[tex]\rm P(U \;or\;V) = P(U\cup V)[/tex]

[tex]\rm P(U \;or\;V) = P(U)+P(V)-P(U\cap V)[/tex]

P(U or V) = 0.27 + 0.56 - 0

P(U or V) = 0.83

The events U and V are mutually exclusive. So, the value of P(U and V) is 0, the value of P(U|V) is 0, and the value of P(U or V) is 0.83 and this can be determined by using the given data.
