"Events AA and BB are mutually exclusive if they can not occur simultaneously." This statement is best represented in symbols by P(A∣B)=0P(A∣B)=0 A and B=0A and B=0 A given B=0A given B=0 P(A and B)=0

T1.2 A person entering a university building is a student (S), faculty (F), or staff (W). We observe three successive persons entering the building. a) List all outcomes in the event A that exactly two are students. b) List all outcomes in the event B that the third person is a faculty
Prove the following theorem: If A and B are independent, then so are the following pairs of events: 1. A and Bc 2. AC and B 3. AC and BC
If event (A) is receiving a bachelor’s degree and event (B) is receiving a PhD then events A and B are necessarily: a. None of the above b. Mutually exclusive c. Independent d. Exhaustive
Which one of the following statements is False (not true)? Events A and B are independent if and only if P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B). Events A and B are independent if and only if P(A) = P(A given B). O(A) x O(not A) = 1 Events A and B are independent if and only if A and B are mutually exclusive; that is disjoint. If events A and B are mutually exclusive then, P (A or B) = P(A) + P(B).
