    1. P(F)
    2. P(E)
    3. P(E ∪ F)
  2. Answer
    not zero
    Choices

    2. equal to 1
    3. less than P(E)
  3. Answer
    0 and 1
    Choices
    1. 0 and 1
    2. −1 and 1
    3. 0 and P(F)
Complete the statement
P(E|F) is defined as P(E ∩ F) divided by {0}, and it is only defined when P(F) is {1}. Its value always lies between {2}.
The definition the whole chapter is built on, including the condition that makes it meaningful. Source: syllabus Maths Part II, Ch 13 Probability.

Questions
  1. Statement is true
    Yes
    Statement
    P(E|F) = P(E ∩ F) ÷ P(F), provided P(F) ≠ 0.
  2. Statement is true
    No
    Statement
    P(E|F) can be greater than 1.
  3. Statement is true
    Yes
    Statement
    P(E′|F) = 1 − P(E|F).
  4. Statement is true
    No
    Statement
    P(E|F) is defined even when P(F) = 0.
  5. Statement is true
    Yes
    Statement
    0 ≤ P(E|F) ≤ 1 always holds.

Items
  1. Item
    P(E ∩ F) = P(E) P(F)
    Category
    Independent
  2. Item
    P(E|F) = P(E)
    Category
    Independent
  3. Item
    Knowing F changes nothing about E
    Category
    Independent
  4. Item
    E and F cannot both occur
    Category
    Mutually exclusive
  5. Item
    P(E ∩ F) = 0
    Category
    Mutually exclusive
  6. Item
    The events have no outcome in common
    Category
    Mutually exclusive
Categories
  1. Item
    Independent
  2. Item
    Mutually exclusive
These are different ideas that get confused constantly. Independent events satisfy P(E ∩ F) = P(E)P(F) mutually exclusive events cannot both happen, so their intersection is empty. Source: syllabus Maths Part II, Ch 13 Probability.
