Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1.2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & P\left(E_1 \cup E_2\right)=P\left(E_1\right)+P\left(E_2\right)-P\left(E_1 \cap E_2\right) \\ & \therefore 0.6=\left[1-P\left(E_1{ }^{\prime}\right)+1-P\left(E_2{ }^{\prime}\right)-P\left(E_1 \cap E_2\right)\right] \\ & P\left(E_1{ }^{\prime}\right)+P\left(E_2{ }^{\prime}\right)=2-0.2-0.6=1.2\end{aligned}\)
