Consider the sample space Ω={(x,y):x,y∈{1,2,3,4}} where each outcome is equally likely. Let A={x≥2} and B = \{y > x\} be two events. Then which of the following is NOT true?
Explanation
Solution
Total Outcomes:
Event A (x∈{2,3,4}):
Event B (y > x):
Outcomes: (1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,3),(2,4),(3,4)
Event A∩B (x≥2 AND y > x):
Outcomes: (2,3),(2,4),(3,4)
Comparison:
Calculated P(A∩B)=163
Given in Option (C) P(A∩B)=41=164
Final Answer:
The statement in (A) is NOT true.
