Consider the following relations for two events E and F: 1. P(E ∩ F) ≥ P(E) + P(F) - 1 2. P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F) + P(E ∩ F) 3. P(E ∪ F) ≤ P(E) + P(F) Which of the above relations is/are correct?
Consider the following relations for two events E and F: 1. P(E ∩ F) ≥ P(E) + P(F) - 1 2. P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F) + P(E ∩ F) 3. P(E ∪ F) ≤ P(E) + P(F) Which of the above relations is/are correct? Correct Answer 3 only
Given:
1. P(E ∩ F) ≥ P(E) + P(F) - 1
2. P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F) + P(E ∩ F)
3. P(E ∪ F) ≤ P(E) + P(F)
Calculation:
Let,
E = {2, 3, 4} and F = {2, 6, 7}
⇒ Total element in P(E) and P(F) = 3.
E ∩ F = {2}
Total element in P(E ∩ F) is 1.
E ∪ F = {2, 3, 4, 6, 7}
⇒ The total element in P(E ∪ F) is 5.
Statement: 1
P(E ∩ F) ≥ P(E) + P(F) - 1
⇒ 1 ≥ 3 + 3 - 1 which is incorrect.
Statement: 2
P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F) + P(E ∩ F)
⇒ 5 = 3 + 3 + 1 which is incorrect.
Statement: 3
P(E ∪ F) ≤ P(E) + P(F)
⇒ 5 ≤ 3 + 3 which is correct.
∴ Only statement 3 is correct.
