Consider the following statements in respect of the events , , :
I. is an impossible event.
II. is a possible event.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?
I. is an impossible event.
II. is a possible event.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?
Options
- AI only
- BII only
- CBoth I and II
- DNeither I nor II
Correct answer
A. I only
Step-by-step solution
Using De Morgan's laws, we have .
Substituting this in the expression for Statement I:
Since the intersection of an event and its complement is the empty set , it represents an impossible event. Thus, Statement I is correct.
Again, using De Morgan's laws, we have .
Substituting this in the expression for Statement II:
This is also an impossible event. Thus, Statement II is incorrect.
Therefore, only Statement I is correct.
