If the events A and B are independent, then which of the following statements are true? (A) $P(A'B)= [1-P(A)] P(B)$ Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A), (B) and (C) only (B), (C) and (D) only (C) and (D) only (A) and (D) only |
(A) and (D) only |
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A) and (D) only Given: A and B are independent (A) $P(A' \cap B) = P(A') P(B) = (1-P(A)) P(B)$ → Correct (B) Mutually exclusive events satisfy $P(A \cap B) = 0$; for independent events, $P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)$ → Not necessarily 0 → Incorrect (C) No restriction on $P(A)$ and $P(B)$ for independence → Not necessarily equal → Incorrect (D) $P(A' \cap B') = P(A') P(B') = (1-P(A))(1-P(B))$ → Correct |
