If you draw one card from a standard deck, what is the probability of drawing a 5 or a diamond?

• 2/52

• 4/52

• 16/52

• 26/52

If P(A) = 0.34 and P(A or B) = 0.71, which of the following is false?

• P(B) = 0.37, if A and B are disjoint.

• P(B) = 0.561, if A and B are independent.

• Cannot be determined if A and B are neither disjoint nor independent.

• P(A∣B)= 0.34, if A and B are independent.

Given the probabilities P(A) =0.4 and P(A∪B) =0.6, what is the probability P(B): If A and B are mutually exclusive? If A and B are independent?

• 0.2; 0.4

• 0.2; 0.33

• 0.33; 0.2

• 0.6; 0.33
