The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze both statements regarding the probabilities of events A and B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze Statement 2** - Statement 2 states that \( P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \). - This is a well-known property of probability, known as the inclusion-exclusion principle. - Since this statement is a fundamental theorem in probability, it is **True**. **Step 2: Analyze Statement 1** - Statement 1 claims that the probability that exactly one of the events A and B occurs is given by \( P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A \cap B) \). - The probability that exactly one of the events A or B occurs can be expressed as: \[ P(\text{exactly one of A or B}) = P(A \cup B) - P(A \cap B) \] - Using the inclusion-exclusion principle from Statement 2, we can substitute \( P(A \cup B) \): \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] - Therefore, we can rewrite the probability of exactly one of the events occurring as: \[ P(\text{exactly one of A or B}) = [P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)] - P(A \cap B) \] \[ = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A \cap B) \] - Now, substituting \( P(A) = p \) and \( P(B) = q \): \[ P(\text{exactly one of A or B}) = p + q - 2P(A \cap B) \] - The statement claims this is equal to \( p + q - 2pq \). Thus, we need to check if \( P(A \cap B) = pq \) holds true in general. **Step 3: Evaluate \( P(A \cap B) \)** - The expression \( P(A \cap B) = pq \) is true only if A and B are independent events. - However, without any information about the independence of A and B, we cannot assume this equality holds in all cases. **Conclusion:** - Since Statement 1 is only true under the condition that A and B are independent, and we have no such information, we conclude that Statement 1 is **False**. ### Final Results: - **Statement 1**: False - **Statement 2**: True
