If \(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}\) and \(\mathrm{C}\) are three events of a random experiment with \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=0.4, \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=0.3\) and \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=0.2\), then the probability that neither A nor B occurs is

  1. A \(0.5\)
  2. B \(0.15\)
  3. C \(0.13\)
  4. D \(0.12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=0.4, \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=0.3\) \(\begin{aligned} & P(A \cap B)=0.2 \\ & \text { Now, } P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \\ & \Rightarrow P(A \cup B)=0.4+0.3-0.2=0.5 \end{aligned}\) Since, probability of neither A nor B occurs…
