Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.35\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using the formula for the union of two events: \(P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)\) \(0.85 = P(A) + 0.50 - 0.30\) \(P(A) = 0.65\) The probability of occurrence of only \(A\) is given by: \(P(A \cap B') = P(A) - P(A \cap B)\) \(P(A \cap B') = 0.65 - 0.30 = 0.35\) Answer:…
