Answer : 2. "= 0.6. Are these two events are disjoint ? A) TRUE B) FALSE Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE Explanation: These two events cannot be disjoint because P(K) + P(L) > 1. P(AꓴB) = P("
Explanation :

Answer: B) FALSE Explanation: These two events cannot be disjoint because P(K) + P(L) > 1. P(AꓴB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AꓵB). An event is disjoint if P(A ꓵ B) = 0. If K and L are disjoint P(K ꓴ L) = 0.8 + 0.6 = 1.4 And Since probability cannot be greater than 1, these two mentioned events cannot be disjoint.
