The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the two statements given: ### Statement 1: If the odds against an event are \( \frac{2}{3} \), then the probability of the event occurring is \( \frac{3}{5} \). **Step 1: Understanding Odds Against an Event** - The odds against an event \( A \) are given as \( \frac{m}{n} \), where \( m \) is the number of unfavorable outcomes and \( n \) is the number of favorable outcomes. - Here, the odds against the event are \( \frac{2}{3} \), meaning there are 2 unfavorable outcomes and 3 favorable outcomes. **Step 2: Total Outcomes** - The total number of outcomes \( = m + n = 2 + 3 = 5 \). **Step 3: Probability of the Event** - The probability of the event \( A \) occurring is given by: \[ P(A) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{3}{5} \] - Thus, Statement 1 is **true**. ### Statement 2: For two events \( A \) and \( B \), \( P(A' \cap B') = 1 - P(A \cup B) \). **Step 4: Understanding the Complement of Events** - The complement of event \( A \) is denoted as \( A' \) and represents all outcomes not in \( A \). - The intersection \( A' \cap B' \) represents the outcomes that are neither in \( A \) nor in \( B \). **Step 5: Using the Complement Rule** - According to the complement rule in probability: \[ P(A' \cap B') = 1 - P(A \cup B) \] - This is a fundamental property of probabilities, confirming that Statement 2 is also **true**. ### Conclusion: Both statements are true, but Statement 2 does not serve as a correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Final Answer: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true, but Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1. ---
