If E and F are independent events associated with an experiment, then which one of the following statements is correct? |
$P(E∩F) = 0$ $P(E∪F) = 1$ $P(E|F) = P(E)$ $P(E|F) = P(F)$ |
$P(E|F) = P(E)$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $P(E∩F) = 0$ ** For independent events $E$ and $F$: $P(E\cap F)=P(E)P(F)$, so it is not necessarily $0$. $P(E\cup F)$ is not always $1$. Independence means: $P(E\mid F)=P(E)$ . Correct statements: Option 3 |
