Under current economic circumstances, a stockbroker estimates that a client would invest in tax-free bonds (A) with a chance of 0.6 and in mutual funds (B) with a probability of 0.3. He has a 0.15 chance of investing in both tax-free and mutual funds. Determine the probability that the consumer will not invest in any of the two options at this moment.
