The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions and determine the implications of events E and F based on their probabilities and intersections. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Conditions**: - We know that \( P(E) \leq P(F) \) which means the probability of event E is less than or equal to the probability of event F. - We also know that \( P(E \cap F) > 0 \) which indicates that events E and F have a non-empty intersection; they can occur simultaneously. 2. **Visualizing with a Venn Diagram**: - Draw a Venn diagram with two circles, one for event E and one for event F. - Since \( P(E) \leq P(F) \), the area representing event E should be smaller than or equal to the area representing event F. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Occurrence of E implies occurrence of F". - If E occurs, then F must also occur. However, since E can occur in a part of the circle that does not overlap with F, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2**: "Occurrence of F implies occurrence of E". - If F occurs, then E must also occur. This is also incorrect since F can occur independently of E in the non-overlapping area of F. - **Option 3**: "Non-occurrence of E implies non-occurrence of F". - If E does not occur, it does not necessarily mean that F does not occur. F can occur even if E does not, hence this option is incorrect as well. - **Option 4**: "None of the above implications holds". - Since all previous options are incorrect, this option must be correct. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis of the options, we conclude that the correct answer is option 4: "None of the above implications holds". ### Final Answer: The correct option is 4: "None of the above implications holds".
