- mutually exclusive
- independent.

उत्तर
i. Since the events are mutually exclusive.
∴ P(A ∩ B) = 0
again P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
∴ `3/5 = 1/2 + p - 0`
⇒ p = `3/5 - 1/2 = (6 - 5)/10 = 1/10`
ii. The events are independent.
∴ P(A ∩ B) = P(A) . P(B)
= `1/2 . p`
again P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
and `3/5 = 1/2 + p - 1/2 p`
or `1/2 p = 3/5 - 1/2 = (6 - 5)/10 = 1/10`
⇒ p = `2/10 = 1/5`
