If A and B are mutually exclusive events,with P(A) = 0.20 and P(B) = 0.30,then the probability that both events will occur simultaneously is:
A) 0.50
B) 0.06
C) 0
D) None of these choices.
Mutually Exclusive
Two events that cannot happen at the same time, meaning the occurrence of one event means the other cannot occur.
P(A)
The probability of an event A occurring in a given statistical experiment or context.
P(B)
P(B) denotes the probability of an event B occurring in the context of probability theory and statistics.
