  1. Question Prompt: Question prompt: Identify which statement is not true for mutually exclusive events.
  2. Definition of Mutually Exclusive Events: Mutually exclusive events cannot happen at the same time, so Pr(AB)\text{Pr}(A \cap B) must be 00.
  3. Calculation of Pr(AB)Pr(A \cup B): For mutually exclusive events, Pr(AB)Pr(A \cup B) is indeed Pr(A)+Pr(B)Pr(A) + Pr(B) because they cannot occur together.
  4. Complement of Pr(AB)Pr(A \cup B): The complement of Pr(AB)Pr(A \cup B) is 1Pr(AB)1 - Pr(A \cup B), so option C is a true statement.
  5. Calculation of Pr(A \cap B): For mutually exclusive events, Pr(A \cap B) cannot be Pr(A) ×\times Pr(B) because Pr(A \cap B) is 00, not the product of their individual probabilities.
  6. General Addition Rule: Option E is a general addition rule for any two events, not just for mutually exclusive events. For mutually exclusive events, Pr(AB)Pr(A \cap B) is 00, so Pr(AB)=Pr(A)+Pr(B)0Pr(A \cup B) = Pr(A) + Pr(B) - 0, which simplifies to Pr(A)+Pr(B)Pr(A) + Pr(B).
