Two statements are given, one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Assertion (A): A random variable X has the following probability distribution
If events E = {X is greater than 5}, F = {X is an odd number}, then $P(E∪F) = 0.65$. Reason (R): $E∪F = \{1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\}$. Select the correct answer from the options given below: |
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A). Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A). Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true. |
Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true. |
The correct answer is Option (4) → Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true. E = {X is greater than 5} $⇒ E = \{6, 7, 8, 9\}$ F = {X is an odd number} $⇒ F = \{1,3,5,7,9\}$. So, $E∪F = \{1,3,5, 6, 7, 8, 9\}$ ∴ Reason is true. Now, $P(E∪F) = P(1) + P(3) + P(5) + P(6) + P(7) + P(8) + P(9)$ $= 0.2+0.05+0.1+0.07 +0.12 + 0.13 +0.08$ $= 0.75$ ∴ Assertion is false. |
