Which of the following statements is NOT true:
A. If an event cannot possibly occur, then the probability of the event is 0.
True
-----------------
B. If events E and F are independent events, then 𝑃(𝐸 ∩𝐹) = ∅.
False:: P(E and F) = P(E)*P(F)
--------------------
C. If only two outcomes are possible for an experiment, then the sum of the probabilities of the outcomes is equal to 1::::: True
----------------------------------
D. Conditional probability is defined as P(A|B) = P(A and B)/P(B)
