If \(P(A \cup B)=0.8\) and \(P(A \cap B)=0.3\), then \(P(\bar{A})+P(\bar{B})\) is equal to:

  1. A 0.3
  2. B 0.5
  3. C 0.8
  4. D 0.9
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(P(A)+P(B)=P(A \cup B)+P(A \cap B)\) \(=0.8+0.3=1.1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 1-P(\bar{A})+1-P(\bar{B})=1.1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad P(\bar{A})+P(\bar{B})=2-1.1=0.9\)
