The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements provided in the question. ### Statement 1: **If A and B are mutually exclusive events, then it is possible that `P(A) = P(B) = 0.6`.** 1. **Understanding Mutually Exclusive Events**: - Two events A and B are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time. This means that the probability of both A and B happening together is zero: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0 \] 2. **Using the Probability Formula**: - The probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events is given by: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) \] - If we substitute the values given in the statement: \[ P(A) = 0.6 \quad \text{and} \quad P(B) = 0.6 \] - Therefore: \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.6 + 0.6 = 1.2 \] 3. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: - Since probabilities cannot exceed 1, having \( P(A \cup B) = 1.2 \) is not possible. - Thus, **Statement 1 is incorrect**. ### Statement 2: **If A and B are any two events such that `P(A|B) = 1`, then `P(¬B|¬A) = 1`.** 1. **Understanding Conditional Probability**: - The statement \( P(A|B) = 1 \) means that if event B occurs, event A must also occur. This implies: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(B) \] 2. **Using the Complement Rule**: - We need to show that \( P(¬B|¬A) = 1 \). This means that if A does not occur, then B also does not occur. - According to the definition of conditional probability: \[ P(¬B|¬A) = \frac{P(¬B \cap ¬A)}{P(¬A)} \] 3. **Relating the Events**: - Since \( P(A|B) = 1 \), it follows that if A does not happen, B cannot happen either. Therefore: \[ P(¬B \cap ¬A) = P(¬A) \] - This leads us to: \[ P(¬B|¬A) = \frac{P(¬A)}{P(¬A)} = 1 \] 4. **Conclusion for Statement 2**: - Therefore, **Statement 2 is correct**. ### Final Conclusion: - **Statement 1 is incorrect**. - **Statement 2 is correct**. Thus, the correct answer is that only Statement II is correct.
