State True or False for the statements in the Exercise.
Two independent events are always mutually exclusive.

 

Answers (1)

False

If A and B are independent events, it means that

P(A ∩ B) = P(A)P(B)
From the equation it cannot be proved that

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B)
It is only possible if either P(A) or P(B) = 0, which is not given in question.

Hence, it is a false statement.
