Question

For any two events A and B in a sample space:

P(A/B)P(A)P(B)1P(B) P(B)0 is always true

P(A⋂) = P(A) – P(A⋂B), does not hold

P(AB)=1P(A¯)P(B¯), if A and B are independent

P(AB)=1  P(A¯)P(B¯), if A and B are disjoint.

(a): Option (a) is correct as LHS is always non negative while the RHS is always non-positive {since P(A) x P(B) is always less than or equal to 1 since each is less than or equal to 1}.
(b): LHS represents the region defined by A but not B or only A which is the same as RHS
(c): LHS refers to the union of A and B.
RHS = 1 – P(A'⋂B') = 1 – P(AUB') = P(A⋂B)
(d): It is obviously false.
