It is not possible for pass and fail to take place at the same P(Pass and Fail) = 0 / no
time. There is no intersection between the two sets. intersection between the sets.
P(Pass and Fail) = 0 (2)
Note:
OR If a candidate answers ‘No’
P(Pass) = 0,59 then award 0 marks
P(Fail) = 0,41 Yes
P(Pass) + P(Fail) P(Pass and Fail) = 0 /
= 0,59 + 0,41 No intersection between
=1 the sets
P(Pass and Fail) = 0 / No intersection of the sets
The events Pass and Fail are mutually exclusive. (2)
Afrikaans

P (Male) × P (Pass) = 0,39 × 0,59
P (Male) × P(Pass) = 0,23
= 0,23 (0,2301)
∴ P(Male) × P(Pass) = P(Male and Pass) conclusion
∴ Passing the competency test is independent of gender. (4)
