#14893

In this problem the probabilities of two events, A and B, are given. From this information, we find the probability of the union of the two events if: 1. The events are mutually exclusive. 2. The events are independent.

Let  A and B be two events such that  P(A) = 0.32 and  P(B) = 0.41.

a. Determine the probability of the union of A and B given that  A and B are mutually exclusive.
b. Determine the probability of the union of A and B given that  A and B are independent.
