Question 136
a.

Two events EEE and FFF satisfy P(E∩F)=0P(E \cap F) = 0P(E∩F)=0. State the technical term used to describe the relationship between these two events.

[1]
b.

A diagnostic test uses two separate chemical indicators, Alpha (AAA) and Beta (BBB), to detect a specific enzyme. Indicator AAA activates independently of indicator BBB.

The probability that indicator AAA activates is 34\frac{3}{4}43​. The probability that at least one of the indicators activates is 1720\frac{17}{20}2017​.

Determine:

P(B)P(B)P(B)
