Question

If the probability that Stock A will increase in value during the next month is 0.54, and the probability that Stock B will increase in value during the next month is 0.68. What is the greatest value for the probability that neither of these two events will occur?A. 0.22.B. 0.32.C. 0.37.D. 0.46.E. 0.63.

Answer 1

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that Stock A will increase in value during the next month = 0.54

Probability that Stock B will increase in value during the next month = 0.68

P(A) = 0.54

P(B) = 0.68

so, P(A)+P(B) = 0.54+0.68=1.22

Probability that neither of these two events will occur is given by

$1.22-1 = 0.22$

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.
