If A and B are independent events such that P(A) = p, p(B) = 2p and P (Exactly one of A and B occurs) = 5/9, find the value of p.
Given P(A)=p and P(B)=2p
P(exactly one of A and B occurs)= P(A)P(
+P(
P(B)
⇒27p-36p2 -5=0
⇒36p2 -27p+5=0
⇒36p2 -12p-15p+5=0
⇒12p(3p-1)-5(3p-1)=0
⇒ (12p-5)(3p-1)=0
⇒12p-5=0
also, 3p-1=0
