The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationships between the events A, B, and C based on the information provided. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Independence**: - Two events A and B are said to be independent if \( P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) \). - We are given that A and B are independent. 2. **Probability of Event C**: - We are given that \( P(C) = 0 \). This means that event C cannot occur; there are no favorable outcomes for event C. 3. **Independence of C with A and B**: - To check if event C is independent of A, we need to see if \( P(A \cap C) = P(A) \cdot P(C) \). - Since \( P(C) = 0 \), we have \( P(A \cap C) = P(A) \cdot 0 = 0 \). - The probability \( P(A \cap C) \) is also 0 because C cannot occur. Thus, A and C are independent. 4. **Independence of C with B**: - Similarly, for event B, we check if \( P(B \cap C) = P(B) \cdot P(C) \). - Again, since \( P(C) = 0 \), we have \( P(B \cap C) = P(B) \cdot 0 = 0 \). - The probability \( P(B \cap C) \) is also 0, which means B and C are independent. 5. **Conclusion about Independence**: - Since A and B are independent, A and C are independent, and B and C are independent, we can conclude that all three events A, B, and C are independent. ### Final Answer: Thus, the correct option is **D: all of these**. Events A, B, and C are independent.
