  • A
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{21}$
  • C

If $E$ and $F$ are independent events such that $0 < P(E) < 1$ and $0 < P(F) < 1,$ then

Consider the following statements:
Assertion $(A)$: If $P_1, P_2, P_3$ are probabilities of occurrence of three independent events, then the probability of occurrence of at least one of them is $1 - [(1 - P_1)(1 - P_2)(1 - P_3)]$.
Reason $(R)$: For any three independent events $A, B$, and $C$, $P(A \cup B \cup C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A)P(B) - P(A)P(C) - P(B)P(C) + P(A)P(B)P(C)$.
