The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of α and β based on the given probabilities of independent events \( A_1, A_2, A_3, \ldots, A_{1006} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Events and Their Probabilities**: Each event \( A_i \) has a probability given by: \[ P(A_i) = \frac{1}{2i} \quad \text{for } i = 1, 2, \ldots, 1006 \] 2. **Finding the Probability of None of the Events Occurring**: The probability that none of the events occur is given by: \[ P(A_1^c \cap A_2^c \cap \ldots \cap A_{1006}^c) = P(A_1^c) \cdot P(A_2^c) \cdots P(A_{1006}^c) \] Where \( P(A_i^c) = 1 - P(A_i) = 1 - \frac{1}{2i} = \frac{2i - 1}{2i} \). 3. **Calculating the Product**: Thus, we have: \[ P(A_1^c) = \frac{1}{2}, \quad P(A_2^c) = \frac{3}{4}, \quad P(A_3^c = \frac{5}{6}, \ldots, P(A_{1006}^c) = \frac{2011}{2012} \] Therefore, the probability that none of the events occur is: \[ P(A_1^c) \cdot P(A_2^c) \cdots P(A_{1006}^c = \prod_{i=1}^{1006} \frac{2i - 1}{2i} \] 4. **Rewriting the Product**: The product can be rewritten as: \[ P(A_1^c) \cdot P(A_2^c) \cdots P(A_{1006}^c = \frac{1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdots \cdot 2011}{2 \cdot 4 \cdots \cdot 2012} \] The numerator is the product of the first 1006 odd numbers, and the denominator is \( 2^{1006} \cdot 1006! \). 5. **Final Expression**: Thus, we can express the probability as: \[ P(A_1^c \cap A_2^c \cap \ldots \cap A_{1006}^c = \frac{(1006)!}{2^{1006} \cdot (1006)!^2} = \frac{(1006)!}{2^{1006} \cdot (1006!)^2} \] 6. **Comparing with the Given Probability**: We are given that this probability equals: \[ \frac{\alpha!}{2^\alpha (\beta!)^2} \] From the expressions, we can equate: \[ \alpha = 2012 \quad \text{and} \quad \beta = 1006 \] 7. **Verifying Conditions**: - **Condition 1**: \( \beta \) is of the form \( 4k + 2 \): \[ 1006 = 4 \cdot 251 + 2 \quad \text{(True)} \] - **Condition 2**: \( \alpha = 2\beta \): \[ 2012 = 2 \cdot 1006 \quad \text{(True)} \] - **Condition 3**: \( \beta \) is a composite number: \[ 1006 \text{ is composite (divisible by 2, 503)} \quad \text{(True)} \] - **Condition 4**: \( \alpha \) is of the form \( 4k \): \[ 2012 = 4 \cdot 503 \quad \text{(True)} \] ### Conclusion: All conditions are satisfied, thus confirming our values of \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \).
