The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information and derive the necessary conclusions. ### Step 1: Understanding the probabilities of the events Given that the probabilities of the independent events \( A_1, A_2, A_3, \ldots, A_{1006} \) are: \[ P(A_i) = \frac{1}{2i} \quad \text{for } i = 1, 2, 3, \ldots, 1006 \] ### Step 2: Finding the probability that none of the events occur The probability that none of the events occur is given by: \[ P(A_1') \cdot P(A_2') \cdot P(A_3') \cdots P(A_{1006}') \] where \( P(A_i') = 1 - P(A_i) = 1 - \frac{1}{2i} = \frac{2i - 1}{2i} \). Thus, we can express the probability that none of the events occur as: \[ P(A_1') \cdot P(A_2') \cdots P(A_{1006}') = \prod_{i=1}^{1006} \frac{2i - 1}{2i} \] ### Step 3: Simplifying the product This product can be simplified as follows: \[ P(A_1') \cdot P(A_2') \cdots P(A_{1006}') = \frac{1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdots \cdot (2 \cdot 1006 - 1)}{2^{1006} \cdot (1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdots \cdot 1006)} \] The numerator is the product of the first 1006 odd numbers, which can be expressed as: \[ \frac{(2 \cdot 1006)!}{2^{1006} \cdot 1006!} \] Thus, we have: \[ P(A_1') \cdot P(A_2') \cdots P(A_{1006}') = \frac{(2 \cdot 1006)!}{2^{1006} \cdot 1006! \cdot 2^{1006} \cdot 1006!} = \frac{(2 \cdot 1006)!}{2^{2012} \cdot (1006!)^2} \] ### Step 4: Relating to given expression We know from the problem statement that this probability can also be expressed as: \[ \frac{\alpha!}{2^\alpha (\beta!)^2} \] By comparing the two expressions, we can identify: \[ \alpha = 2012 \quad \text{and} \quad \beta = 1006 \] ### Step 5: Verifying conditions 1. **Check if \( \beta \) is of the form \( 4k + 2 \)**: \[ \beta = 1006 = 4 \cdot 251 + 2 \quad \text{(which is of the form \( 4k + 2 \))} \] 2. **Check if \( \alpha = 2\beta \)**: \[ \alpha = 2012 = 2 \cdot 1006 \quad \text{(which is true)} \] 3. **Check if \( \beta \) is a composite number**: \[ \beta = 1006 \quad \text{(which is divisible by 2, hence composite)} \] 4. **Check if \( \alpha \) is of the form \( 4k \)**: \[ \alpha = 2012 = 4 \cdot 503 \quad \text{(which is of the form \( 4k \))} \] ### Final Conclusion Thus, we have verified all the conditions stated in the problem.
