The Venn diagram below shows three events $A$ , $B\,$ and $C$ .

Venn diagram for Question 1 showing three overlapping sets A, B, and C. Set A is on the left, B is at the top, and C is on the right. The regions are labeled as follows: A only: 0.25; B only: 0.1; C only: q; A and B only: 0.15; B and C only: p; A and C only: 0.15; All three sets A, B, and C: 0.1. The region outside all three sets is labeled r.

Write down two of the events that are mutually exclusive.

Events $A\,$ and $B\,$ are independent.

The probability of $C\,$ is 0.3

Find the values of $p$ , $q\,$ and $r$ .
