- BII only
- CBoth I and II
- DNeither I nor II
Correct answer
D. Neither I nor II
Step-by-step solution
Given and .
Since and are independent events, .
The probability that exactly one of the events happens is given by .
Statement I claims this probability is , which is incorrect.
The probability that at least one of the events happens is given by .
Statement II claims this probability is , which is also incorrect.
Therefore, neither Statement I nor Statement II is correct.
