Q15 of 62 Page 1346

Mark (√) against the correct answer in each of the following:

If A and B are two events such that P(A ∪ B) = , P(A ∩ B) = and P() = , then the events A and B are


Given,


P(A ∪ B) = , P(A ∩ B) = and


P() = , P(B) = 1- P() = 1- =


⇒ P(B) =


⇒ P(A) =


⇒ Hence, these are independent.
