A)If P(A) = .05, then the odds against event A's occurrence are 19 to 1.
B)If A and B are mutually exclusive events, then P(A or B) = 0.

B) is false because if A and B are mutually exclusive events, then P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B), not 0. This means the probability of either event A or event B occurring is the sum of their individual probabilities, assuming they cannot both occur at the same time.
