Let E 1 , E 2 , E 3 be three mutually exclusive events such that 
and P(E 3 ) 
. If the maximum and minimum values of p are p 1 and p 2 , then (p 1 + p 2 ) is equal to :
A
B
C
D
1
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
for i=1,2,3
E 1 & E 2 & E 3 are mutually exclusive
P(E 1 ) + P(E 2 ) + P(E 3 ) 
1
2/3 
p 
1
p 1 = 1, P 2 = 2/3
p 1 + p 2 = 5/3
