The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationships between the events A, B, and C, given that A and B are independent and that the probability of C is 0. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information:** - We know that events A and B are independent. - We also know that the probability of event C, denoted as P(C), is equal to 0. 2. **Implications of P(C) = 0:** - Since P(C) = 0, this means that there are no favorable outcomes for event C. In other words, event C cannot occur. 3. **Independence of Events:** - Two events are considered independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of the other. - Since event C has no outcomes (P(C) = 0), it cannot affect the occurrence of events A or B. 4. **Conclusion about Independence:** - Because C has no outcomes, we can conclude that: - A and C are independent. - B and C are independent. - This is because the occurrence of A or B does not influence the occurrence of C, which cannot happen. 5. **Final Conclusion:** - Since A and B are independent, and we have established that A and C, as well as B and C, are also independent, we can conclude that all three events A, B, and C are independent of each other. 6. **Answer:** - Therefore, the answer is that events A, B, and C are independent.
