Let A = Event that student will pass examination

and B = Event that student will get compartment

Then, we have

P(A) = 0.73, P(B) = 0.13 and P(A ⋃ B) =0.96

Now, we have to find P(A ⋂ B)

By General Addition Rule, we have

P(A  B) = P(A) + P (B) – P(A  B)

⇒ P(A ⋃ B) = 0.73 + 0.13 – 0

[∵ A and B are independent events]

⇒ P(A ⋃ B) = 0.86

But P(A ⋃ B) = 0.96

Hence, the given statement is False.
