The correct answer is:
\( 0.8 \)
Here \( P(A)=\frac{3}{5}, P(B)=\frac{1}{5} \)
For mutually exclusive events \( A \) and \( B \)
\( P(A \) or \( B)=P(A)+P(B) \)
\( \therefore P(A \) or \( B)=\frac{3}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5} \)
For mutually exclusive events \( A \) and \( B \)
\( P(A \) or \( B)=P(A)+P(B) \)
\( \therefore P(A \) or \( B)=\frac{3}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5} \)
