Events a and b are mutually exclusive. suppose event a occurs with probability 0.02 and event b occurs with probability 0.73. compute the probability that b occurs or a does not occur (or both). compute the probability that either b occurs without a occurring or a and b both occur

1. The probability that B occurs or A does not occur (or both) is 0.73.

2. The probability that either B occurs without A occurring or A and B both occur is 0.73.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the events A and B are mutually exclusive. It means the intersection of A and B is 0.

Given information:

We get,

(1) We need to find the probability that B occurs or A does not occur (or both).

Therefore the probability that B occurs or A does not occur (or both) is 0.73.

(2) We need to find the probability that either B occurs without A occurring or A and B both occur.

Therefore the probability that either B occurs without A occurring or A and B both occur is 0.73.
