  • Let A and B be events on the same sample space, with P (A) = 0.
Question 1:
Let A and B be events on the same sample space, with P (A) = 0.6 and P (B) = 0.7. Can these two events be disjoint?
A. Yes
B. No
Feedback These two events cannot be disjoint because P(A)+P(B) >1.
P(A?B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A?B).
An event is disjoint if P(A?B) = 0. If A and B are disjoint P(A?B) = 0.6+0.7 = 1.3
And Since probability cannot be greater than 1, these two mentioned events cannot be disjoint.
C. None of the above
D. All The above
