14.Probability
easy

For any two independent events ${E_1}$ and ${E_2},$ $P\,\{ ({E_1} \cup {E_2}) \cap ({\bar E_1} \cap {\bar E_2})\} $ is

A

$ < \frac{1}{4}$

B

$ > \frac{1}{4}$

C

$ \ge \frac{1}{2}$

D

None of these

(IIT-1991)

Solution

(a) Since $\overline {{E_1}} \cap \overline {{E_2}} = \overline {{E_1} \cup {E_2}} $ and $({E_1} \cup {E_2}) \cap (\overline {{E_1} \cup {E_2}} ) = \phi $

$P\,\{ ({E_1} \cup {E_2}) \cap (\overline {{E_1}} \cap \overline {{E_2}} )\} = P(\phi ) = 0 < \frac{1}{4}$.
