Quiz 3 Basic probability

1. If the event of interest is A, then which of the following statements is correct?


a. the probability that A will not occur is 1 P(A)
b. the probability that A will not occur is the probability of the complement of A
c. the probability that A will occur is zero if event A is impossible
d. the probability A will occur is one if event A is certain
*e. all of the above statements are correct
2. Which of the following definitions is correct?

one excludes the occurrence of the other event, then events A and B are mutually
exclusive

exhaustive, in other words, each student must fall into one of the classifications
