Let S be the sample space of a random experiment and P be a probability function defined on the power set of S. Two events A and B of the random experiment are called independent if

  1. A \(P\left(A \cap B^C\right)=P(A) \cdot P(B)\)
  2. B \(P\left(A^C \cap B\right)=P(A) \cdot P(B)\)
  3. C \(P\left(A^C \cap B^C\right)=(1-P(A))(1-P(B))\)
  4. D \(P(A \cap B)=P(A) \cdot P\left(B^C\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(P\left(A^C \cap B^C\right)=(1-P(A))(1-P(B))\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

It is obvious \(\because\) If \(A\) and \(B\) are independent, then \(P(A \cap B)=P(A) \cdot P(B)\) By given options, option (a), (b) and (d) are rejected. Method (2)…
