The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions regarding the events E and F. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information**: - We have two events, E and F. - It is given that \( P(E) \leq P(F) \). - It is also given that \( P(E \cap F) > 0 \). 2. **Interpreting the Probabilities**: - The condition \( P(E) \leq P(F) \) indicates that the probability of event E occurring is less than or equal to the probability of event F occurring. - The condition \( P(E \cap F) > 0 \) means that there is a non-zero probability that both events E and F occur simultaneously. 3. **Visualizing with a Venn Diagram**: - We can represent the events E and F in a Venn diagram. - The area representing E will be smaller than or equal to the area representing F, and there will be an overlap between E and F since \( P(E \cap F) > 0 \). 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - We need to evaluate the implications of the given conditions based on the options provided: 1. **Option 1**: Occurrence of E implies occurrence of F. - This is incorrect because E can occur without F occurring. 2. **Option 2**: Occurrence of F implies occurrence of E. - This is also incorrect because F can occur without E occurring. 3. **Option 3**: Non-occurrence of E implies non-occurrence of F. - This is incorrect as well; F can occur even if E does not. 4. **Option 4**: None of the above implications hold. - This is the correct option since all previous options are false. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer is that none of the implications hold true based on the given conditions. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **4. None of the above implications hold.**
