(b) Find the probability that a student takes physics given that the student does not take chemistry. (c) State whether the events "taking chemistry" and "taking physics" are mutually exclusive, independent, or neither. Justify your answer. [Maximum mark: 6] Two events A and B are such that P(A) = 0.25 and P(A U B) = 0.7. Find P(B), given that A and B are: (a) mutually exclusive; 121 (b) independent.[Maximum mark: 6) A lego storage box is left with 4 blue and 7 red bricks.
