If A and B are two independent events are such that P(A)= 0.3 and P(B) = 0.6 then find P(A and not B).
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Given that P(A)= 0.3 and P(B) = 0.6
We know that, P(A and not B) = P(A ∩ B′)
= P(A) - P(A ∩ B)
Since A and B are two independent events so,
P(A and B) = P(A ∩ B) = P(A). P(B)
= 0.3 x0.6
= 0.18
Hence, P(A and not B) = P(A ∩ B′) = 0.3 - 0.18
= 0.12
