Question 59 of 89

Q.If S is a sample space and A is an event and P(A) denotes the probability of A then which of the following is incorrect?

(a) P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B)
(b) 0≤P(A)≤10 \le P(A) \le 1
(c) P[impossible event]=0P[\text{impossible event}] = 0
(d) P(S)=1P(S) = 1

Options (b), (c), (d) are true probability axioms for any event; option (a) is only true for mutually exclusive events, so as a blanket statement it is incorrect.

(b) 0≤P(A)≤10\le P(A)\le1 — this is the basic probability axiom, always true.

(c) P[impossible event]=0P[\text{impossible event}]=0 — true by definition of probability.

(d) P(S)=1P(S)=1 — true, the sample space has total probability 1.
