For two events, P(A) = 0.54, P(B) = 0.69 and P(A and B) = 0.35. The probability that A occurs but B does not is:

A0.15 exactly
B0.34 exactly
C0.23 exactly
D0.19 exactly
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 0.19 exactly
1. A-but-not-B is the part of A outside the overlap with B. 2. P(A but not B) = P(A) - P(A and B). 3. P = 0.54 - 0.35 = 0.19. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Ch 14 'Probability' (kemh114)_
