The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the given statements and calculate the required probabilities step by step. ### Step 1: Calculate the probabilities of the events \( A_1, A_2, A_3 \) Given: - \( P(A_i) = \frac{1}{i+1} \) Calculating for \( i = 1, 2, 3 \): - \( P(A_1) = \frac{1}{1+1} = \frac{1}{2} \) - \( P(A_2) = \frac{1}{2+1} = \frac{1}{3} \) - \( P(A_3) = \frac{1}{3+1} = \frac{1}{4} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the probabilities of the complements of the events The complements are: - \( P(A_1') = 1 - P(A_1) = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \) - \( P(A_2') = 1 - P(A_2) = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \) - \( P(A_3') = 1 - P(A_3) = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \) ### Step 3: Calculate the probability that at least one event happens Using the formula for the probability of the union of independent events: \[ P(A_1 \cup A_2 \cup A_3) = 1 - P(A_1') \cdot P(A_2') \cdot P(A_3') \] Substituting the values: \[ P(A_1 \cup A_2 \cup A_3) = 1 - \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{4}\right) \] Calculating the product: \[ P(A_1') \cdot P(A_2') \cdot P(A_3') = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3}{2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4} = \frac{6}{24} = \frac{1}{4} \] Now substituting back: \[ P(A_1 \cup A_2 \cup A_3) = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 4: Verify Statement 1 Statement 1 claims that the probability that at least one event happens is \( \frac{3}{4} \). We have calculated and confirmed that: \[ P(A_1 \cup A_2 \cup A_3) = \frac{3}{4} \] Thus, Statement 1 is **true**. ### Step 5: Verify Statement 2 Statement 2 states: \[ P\left(\bigcup_{i=1}^{3} A_i\right) = 1 - \prod_{i=1}^{3} P(A_i') \] We already calculated: \[ P\left(\bigcup_{i=1}^{3} A_i\right) = \frac{3}{4} \] And we calculated: \[ \prod_{i=1}^{3} P(A_i') = \frac{1}{4} \] Thus: \[ 1 - \prod_{i=1}^{3} P(A_i') = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \] This confirms that Statement 2 is also **true**. ### Conclusion Both statements are true.
