If A and B are independent events, then which of the following is not true?

  1. A \(A^{\prime}\) and \(B^{\prime}\) are independent
  2. B \(A\) and \(B^{\prime}\) are independent
  3. C \(A^{\prime}\) and \(B^{\prime}\) are independent
  4. D \(A\) and \(B\) are mutually exclusive
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(A\) and \(B\) are mutually exclusive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \(P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)\), then \(A\) and \(B\) are independent. If \(A\) and \(B\) are independent and \(P(A) > 0\), \(P(B) > 0\), then \(P(A \cap B) > 0\). If \(A\) and \(B\) are mutually exclusive, then \(P(A \cap B) = 0\). Therefore, if \(A\) and \(B\) are independent…
