The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is false among the given options regarding the probabilities of events A and B, we can follow these steps: ### Given: - \( P(A) = \frac{3}{4} \) - \( P(B) = \frac{5}{8} \) ### Step 1: Calculate \( P(B') \) First, we need to find the probability of the complement of event B, denoted as \( P(B') \): \[ P(B') = 1 - P(B) = 1 - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{3}{8} \] ### Step 2: Analyze Option 1 **Option 1:** \( P(A \cup B) \geq \frac{3}{4} \) Using the formula for the probability of the union of two events: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Since \( P(A) = \frac{3}{4} \) and \( P(B) = \frac{5}{8} \), we can say: \[ P(A \cup B) \geq P(A) \quad \text{(since \( P(A \cap B) \) cannot be negative)} \] Thus, \( P(A \cup B) \geq \frac{3}{4} \) is **true**. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 2 **Option 2:** \( P(A \cap B') \geq \frac{1}{8} \) and \( P(A \cap B') \leq \frac{3}{8} \) Using the relationship: \[ P(A \cap B') = P(A) - P(A \cap B) \] To find \( P(A \cap B) \), we use: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B) \] From our previous analysis, we know \( P(A \cup B) \geq \frac{3}{4} \). Hence: \[ P(A \cap B) \leq P(A) + P(B) - \frac{3}{4} \] Calculating \( P(A) + P(B) \): \[ P(A) + P(B) = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{6}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{11}{8} \] Thus: \[ P(A \cap B) \leq \frac{11}{8} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{8} - \frac{6}{8} = \frac{5}{8} \] Now substituting back: \[ P(A \cap B') = P(A) - P(A \cap B) \geq \frac{3}{4} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{6}{8} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{1}{8} \] And: \[ P(A \cap B') \leq \frac{3}{8} \] Thus, this option is also **true**. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 3 **Option 3:** \( P(A \cap B) \geq \frac{3}{8} \) and \( P(A \cap B) \leq \frac{5}{8} \) From our earlier calculations: \[ P(A \cap B) \leq \frac{5}{8} \quad \text{(true)} \] Now, to check if \( P(A \cap B) \geq \frac{3}{8} \): Using the previous inequality: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B) \geq \frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{8} - 1 = \frac{11}{8} - 1 = \frac{3}{8} \] So, this option is also **true**. ### Step 5: Analyze Option 4 **Option 4:** \( P(A \cup B) \leq \frac{1}{2} \) From our earlier analysis, we established that: \[ P(A \cup B) \geq \frac{3}{4} \] Thus, this statement is **false**. ### Conclusion The false statement is: \[ P(A \cup B) \leq \frac{1}{2} \]

To determine which statement is false among the given options regarding the probabilities of events A and B, we can follow these steps: ### Given: - \( P(A) = \frac{3}{4} \) - \( P(B) = \frac{5}{8} \) ### Step 1: Calculate \( P(B') \) First, we need to find the probability of the complement of event B, denoted as \( P(B') \): ...
