Actuary Tong has to study for two actuarial exams: Exam P and Exam FM. The amount of study time that Actuary Tong will spend on each exam in a day follows a continuous random variable that ranges from o to i hour. The amount of study time that Actuary Tong spends on both exams in a day has a joint density function that is equal to the sum of the study times that Actuary Tong spends on ench exam in a day. Caleulate the probability Actuary Tong spends at least half an hour in a day studying for exactly one of the exams. A 0.45 B 0.50 0.55 D 0.60 0.65 REP
