Don't know how to do these questions. Understand how to use Venn diagrams but to many terms for my mind. Can anybody tell me how to figure this out?

Since $P(A \mbox{ and }B)=P(A)P(B)$ where $A,B$ are disjoint.
Thus, the answer to the first question is $(.2)(.3)=.06$.

Since $P(A\mbox{ or }B)=P(A)+P(B)$ where $A,B$ are disjoint.
Thus, the answer to the second question is $(.2)+(.3)=(.5)$.

Since $P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=1$ where $A,B,C$ are disjoint.
Thus, the answer to the third question is $1-.5=.5$.
Q.E.D.
