ANSWER

[tex]P(A\cap B)=0[/tex]

EXPLANATION

If the two events are disjoint, then they are mutually exclusive.

This means that their intersection is zero.

Therefore

[tex]n(A\cap B)=0[/tex]

This implies that,

[tex]P(A\cap B)= \frac{n(A\cap B)}{n(U)} [/tex]

[tex]P(A\cap B)= \frac{0}{n(U)} = 0[/tex]

The probability that the two events will occur together is 0, which means an impossibility.
