Complete following three (3) exercises related to probability: 

1. The probability of patient admitted to critical care unit with heart disease is 0.1 while the probability for pulmonary disease is 0.05.  If probability of having a patient having both diseases is 1/500, find out the probability that the next patient admitted will have either a heart or pulmonary disease or both? Are the events of admission of patients with heart diseases or pulmonary diseases independent of one another? Why?
