Correct Answer - D We have, P(Exactly one of A, B occurs) = P [ ( A ∩ ¯¯¯ B ) ∪ ( ¯¯¯ A ∩ B ) ] = = P ( A ∩ ¯¯¯ B ) + P ( ¯¯¯ A ∩ B ) = = P ( A ) − P ( A ∩ B ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∩ B ) = = P ( A ) + P ( B ) − 2 P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ∩ B ) − P ( A ∩ B ) = Also, P, (Exactly one of A, B occurs) = P ( A ∪ B ) − P ( A ∩ B ) = = { 1 − P ( ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A ∪ B ) } − { 1 − P ( ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A ∩ B ) } = = [ 1 − P ( ¯¯¯ A ∩ ¯¯¯ B ) ] − [ 1 − P ( ¯¯¯ A ∪ ¯¯¯ B ) ] = = P ( ¯¯¯ A ∪ ¯¯¯ B ) − P ( ¯¯¯ A ∩ ¯¯¯ B ) = P ( ¯¯¯ A ) + P ( ¯¯¯ B ) − 2 P ( ¯¯¯ A ∩ ¯¯¯ B ) = . Hence, option (d) is incorrect.
