When you have two mutually exclusive events, to find the probability of one or another, you add the probabilities.
65+7=72
Final answer: B

Answer: P(S\cup T)=72%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that S and T are mutually exclusive events.

Therefore, the intersection of both the events must be 0.

i.e. [tex]p(S\cap T)=0[/tex]

P (S) = 65% and P(T) = 7%

We know that P(S or T)=[tex]P(S\cup T)=P(S)+P(T)-P(S\cap T)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P(S\cup T)=65\%+7\%=72\%[/tex]

Hence, P(S\cup T)=72%
