Q:

Let K and L be events on the same sample space, with P (K) = 0.8 and P (B) = 0.6. Are these two events are disjoint ?

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

These two events cannot be disjoint because P(K) + P(L) > 1.


P(AꓴB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AꓵB).


An event is disjoint if P(A ꓵ B) = 0. If K and L are disjoint P(K ꓴ L) = 0.8 + 0.6 = 1.4


And Since probability cannot be greater than 1, these two mentioned events cannot be disjoint.
