Hi there. can you assist on the following question regarding probability distribution  Q.1. Events X and Y are such that  P(x) = 0.30 and P(X U Y)=0.75. Given that X and Y are independent and non-mutually exclusive, determine ?(?). Give your final answer as a percentage to two decimal places.     Q.2 .A recent survey found that the probability that a student is doing a BCom degree is 0.75. The same survey found that the probability that a student is female and is doing a BCom degree is 0.30. Given this information, what is the probability that a student is a female, given that the student is doing a BCom degree?
