TERM 1
False
DEFINITION 1
P(A) = 0.7P(B) = 0.5The events A and B are mutually
exclusive.
TERM 2
True
DEFINITION 2
If the events A and B are independant, then: P (A-
intersection-B)=0.35
TERM 3
True
DEFINITION 3
P(A) = 0.7P(B) = 0.5If the events A and B are independent,
then P(A-union-B) = 0.85
TERM 4
False
DEFINITION 4
P(A) = 0.7P(B) = 0.5If the events A and B are independant,
the P(A | B) = 0.20
