D. \(P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)\)
E. \(P(A \cap B)=P(A) P(B)\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A A and B only
  2. B B, C and D only

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) A, B and E only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)\) \(P(A^c \cap B^c) = 1 - P(A \cup B) = 1 - (P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B)) = (1 - P(A))(1 - P(B)) = P(A^c)P(B^c)\) \(P(A \cap B^c) = P(A) - P(A \cap B) = P(A) - P(A)P(B) = P(A)(1 - P(B)) = P(A)P(B^c)\) A, B and E only
