If P(A B) = 0, then the two events A and B are (a) Mutually exclusive (b) Exhaustive (c) Equally likely (d) Independent. 2. If for two events A and B, P(AUB) = 1, then A and B are (a) Mutually exclusive events (b) Equally likely events (c) Exhaustive events (d) Dependent events. 3. If an unbiased coin is tossed once, then the two events Head and Tail are (a) Mutually exclusive (b) Exhaustive (c) Equally likely (d) All these (a), (b) and (c). 4. P(B/A) is defined only when (a) A is a sure event (b) B is a sure event (c) A is not an impossible event (d) B is an impossible event. 5. If two events A and B are independent, then (a) A and the complement of B are independent (b) B and the complement of A are independent (c) Complements of A and B are independent (d) All of these (a), (b) and (c). 6. If P(A) = 0, then the event A (a) will never happen (b) will always happen (c) may happen (d) may not happen. 7. If P(A) = 5/9, then the odds in favour the event A is (a) 5 : 9 (b) 5 : 4 (c) 4 : 5 (d) 5 : 14 8. If A, B and C are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events, then P(A) + P(B) + P(C) equals to (a)1/3 (b) 1 (c) 0 (d) any value between 0 and 1. 9. Addition Theorem of Probability states that for any two events A and B, (a) P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) (c) P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) P(AB) (a) P(A B) = P(A) P(B/A) (c) P(A B) = P(A) P(B) (b) P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) + P(AB) (d) P(A B) = P(A) P(B) (b) P(A B) = P(A) P(B/A) (d) P(A B) = P(B) + P(B) P(A B).

10. The Theorem of Compound Probability states that for any two events A and B.
