    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that you have applied for two scholarships, a Merit scholarship (M) and an Athletic scholarship (A).

    The probability that you receive an Athletic scholarship is 0.18

    P (A) = 0.18

    The probability of receiving both scholarships is 0.11.

    P (AM) = 0.11

    The probability of getting at least one of the scholarships is 0.3.

    P (AUM) = 0.3

    i. e. P (AUM) = P (A) + P (M) - P (AM) = 0.3

    0.18+P (M) - 0.11 = 0.3

    P (M) = 0.41-0.18 = 0.23

    a) the probability that you will receive a Merit scholarship=0.23

    b) P (AB) not equals 0

    Hence A and B are not mutually exclusive

    c) P (AM) = 0.11 and P (A) * P (M) = 0.23*0.18 not equals 0.11

    Hence not independent

    d) P (A/M) = P (AM) / P (M) = 0.11/0.23 = 0.4783
