The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements given the condition that \( P(C) = 0 \). ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1**: \( P(A \cap B \cap C) = 0 \) Since \( P(C) = 0 \), it means that the event \( C \) does not occur at all. The intersection of any event with an event that has zero probability will also have zero probability. Therefore, regardless of what events \( A \) and \( B \) are, the intersection \( A \cap B \cap C \) must also be zero. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: \[ P(A \cap B \cap C) = 0 \text{ is true.} \] ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2**: \( P(A \cup B \cup C) = P(A \cup B) \) Using the property of probabilities, we can express the union of events as follows: \[ P(A \cup B \cup C) = P((A \cup B) \cup C) \] Since \( P(C) = 0 \), the event \( C \) does not contribute to the probability of the union. Thus, we can simplify: \[ P((A \cup B) \cup C) = P(A \cup B) + P(C) - P((A \cup B) \cap C) \] Given that \( P(C) = 0 \) and \( P((A \cup B) \cap C) = P(A \cap B \cap C) = 0 \) (from Statement 1), we have: \[ P(A \cup B \cup C) = P(A \cup B) + 0 - 0 = P(A \cup B) \] **Conclusion for Statement 2**: \[ P(A \cup B \cup C) = P(A \cup B) \text{ is also true.} \] ### Final Conclusion Both statements are true: - Statement 1 is true because \( P(A \cap B \cap C) = 0 \). - Statement 2 is true because \( P(A \cup B \cup C) = P(A \cup B) \). Thus, both statements are valid under the condition that \( P(C) = 0 \).
