Take CBT

Which of the following is the correct formula for the Complement Rule, as presented in the document?

A P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F)

B P(E ∩ F) = P(E)P(F)

C P(E<sup>c</sup>) = 1 - P(E)

Correct Answer

D P(E|F) = P(E ∩ F) / P(F)

Option C is the correct answer.

Slide 8 states the Theorem (Complement Rule) as 'P(Ec) = 1 – P(E)'.

The probability of an event *not* happening is related to the probability of it happening.
