Suppose \(A, B\) be two events such that \(P(A)=0.9\) and \(P(B)=0.8\) and \(P(A \cap B) \geq 0.7\). Then, we can conclude that such a case is ____

  1. A Always true
  2. B Always false
  3. C Not true in some examples
  4. D True only in some cases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Always true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Maximum value of probability of \(A\) or \(B\) is, \(\begin{aligned} P(A \cup B) & =P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \\ & =0.9+0.8-0.7=1 \end{aligned}\) Which is probability of a sure event. As all other values of \(P(A \cup B)\) are less than 1 , so this is always true.
