Answer:

[tex]P(A\ and\ B) = 0.18[/tex]

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = 0.90[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P(A) = 0.60[/tex]

[tex]P(B) = 0.30[/tex]

Required

Which option is true

A and B are said to be [tex]independent[/tex] if:

[tex]P(A\ and\ B) = P(A) * P(B)[/tex]

[tex]P(A\ and\ B) = 0.60 * 0.30[/tex]

[tex]P(A\ and\ B) = 0.18[/tex]

and

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) + P(B)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = 0.60 + 0.30[/tex]

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = 0.90[/tex]
