Let ${E_1},{E_2},{E_3}$ be three arbitrary events of a sample space $S$. Consider the following statements which of the following statements are correct

  • A

    $P$ (only one of them occurs)

    $ = P({\bar E_1}{E_2}{E_3} + {E_1}{\bar E_2}{E_3} + {E_1}{E_2}{\overline E _3})$

  • B

    $P$ (none of them occurs)

    $ = P({\overline E _1} + {\overline E _2} + {\overline E _3})$

  • C

    $P$ (atleast one of them occurs)

    $ = P({E_1} + {E_2} + {E_3})$

  • D

    $P$ (all the three occurs)$ = P({E_1} + {E_2} + {E_3})$

    where $P({E_1})$denotes the probability of ${E_1}$ and ${\bar E_1}$ denotes complement of ${E_1}$.

If $A$ and $B$ are any two events, then $P(\bar A \cap B) = $

Two events $A$ and $B$ will be independent, if

For three events $A,B $ and $C$  ,$P ($ Exactly one of $A$ or $B$ occurs$)\, =\, P ($ Exactly one of $C$ or $A$ occurs $) =$ $\frac{1}{4}$ and $P ($ All the three events occur simultaneously $) =$ $\frac{1}{16}$ Then the probability that at least one of the events occurs is :
