a) Superior Construction Pte Ltd is a successful company dealing with many major projects in Singapore. Recently, it has submitted its biddings for two major Government projects. Project A worth about $120 million and the company believes it has 40% chance of securing the project. Project B worth $1.8 billion and there is 30% chance the company can win the project. Both projects are independent of each other. What is the probability that the company:

 

i. will secure Project A or B but not both

 

ii. will not secure Project A or will not secure Project B

 

(b) Do you agree that "if two events are mutually exclusive then these two events will be independent"? Why?

 

(c) Provide one business-related example each, with explanation, for mutually exclusive and independent events.

P( get exactly one contract) = 0.4*0.7+0.6*0.3 = 0.48+0.18 = 0.6

 

P(not get either) = 0.6*0.7 = 0.42

 

Not sure about b and c
