A
0.3
B
0.25
C
0.35
D
0.4
Question 1 Explanation: 
P(Today) = 0.5

P(Tomorrow) = 0.6
P(T∪To) = 0.7
P(T∩To) = P(T) + P(To) – P(T∪To)
= 0.5 + 0.6 – 0.07
= 1.1 – 0.7
= 0.4

Correct Answer: D
Question 1 Explanation: 
P(Today) = 0.5

P(Tomorrow) = 0.6
P(T∪To) = 0.7
P(T∩To) = P(T) + P(To) – P(T∪To)
= 0.5 + 0.6 – 0.07
= 1.1 – 0.7
= 0.4
