Prove that, complement of two independent events A and B also independents.
Q. Prove that, complement of two independent events A and B also independents.
Proof:
We know if A and B is independents then P( A∩B) = P(A) . P(B)
Also, know that P(A') = 1 - P(A) and P(B') = 1 - P(B)
Also, know that P(A') = 1 - P(A) and P(B') = 1 - P(B)
Now, P(A'∩B') = P((A∪B)') [Using De Morgan's]
= 1 - P(A∪B)
= 1 - P(A) - P(B) - P(A∩B)
= [1 - P(A)] - P(B) - P(A) . P(B)
= [1 - P(A)] - P(B) [1 - P(A)]
= [1 - P(A)] . [1 - P(B)]
= P(A') . P(B')
= 1 - P(A∪B)
= 1 - P(A) - P(B) - P(A∩B)
= [1 - P(A)] - P(B) - P(A) . P(B)
= [1 - P(A)] - P(B) [1 - P(A)]
= [1 - P(A)] . [1 - P(B)]
= P(A') . P(B')
Therefore, P(A'∩B') = P(A') . P(B'), So, we can say that, complement of two independent events A and B also independents. ☺
