Probability 3 Question 28

28. If E and F are independent events such that 0<P(E)<1 and 0<P(F)<1, then

(1989,2M)

(a) E and F are mutually exclusive

(b) E and Fc (the complement of the event F ) are independent

(c) Ec and Fc are independent

(d) P(E/F)+P(Ec/F)=1

Solution:

  1. Since, E and F are independent events. Therefore, P(EF)=P(E)P(F)0, so E and F are not mutually exclusive events.

Now, P(EF¯)=P(E)P(EF)=P(E)P(E)P(F)

=P(E)[1P(F)]=P(E)P(F¯)

and P(E¯F¯)=P(EF)=1P(EF)

=1[1P(E¯)P(F¯)]=P(E¯)P(F¯)

So, E and F¯ as well as E¯ and F¯ are independent events.

Now, P(E/F)+P(E¯/F)=P(EF)+P(E¯F)P(F)

=P(F)P(F)=1
