The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given statements about events A and B are always true, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Union and Intersection of Events We start with the fundamental relationship between the probabilities of two events A and B: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] This relationship will help us analyze the options. ### Step 2: Analyzing Option 1 **Option 1:** \( P(A \cap B) \geq P(A) + P(B) - 1 \) From the formula for the union of two events, we can rearrange it: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B) \] Since \( P(A \cup B) \) cannot exceed 1, we have: \[ P(A \cap B) \geq P(A) + P(B) - 1 \] This statement is always true. ### Step 3: Analyzing Option 2 **Option 2:** \( P(A \cap B) \leq P(A) \) This statement is also true because the intersection of A and B cannot exceed the probability of A alone. Thus, \( P(A \cap B) \) is always less than or equal to \( P(A) \). ### Step 4: Analyzing Option 3 **Option 3:** \( P(A') \cap B' = 1 - P(A) \) This option is a bit misleading. The complement of A (denoted as \( A' \)) and the complement of B (denoted as \( B' \)) do not have a straightforward relationship with the probabilities of A and B. However, we can use the formula: \[ P(A' \cap B') = 1 - P(A \cup B) \] Thus, this statement is not always true. ### Step 5: Analyzing Option 4 **Option 4:** \( P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) \) This statement is only true if A and B are independent events. Since independence is not guaranteed, this statement is not always true. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the options, we conclude that: - **Options 1 and 2 are always true.** - **Options 3 and 4 are not always true.** ### Final Answer The statements that are always true are: 1. \( P(A \cap B) \geq P(A) + P(B) - 1 \) 2. \( P(A \cap B) \leq P(A) \)
