Justify for full credit.(a)(b)(c)(d)If P(A) = 0.4 , P(B) = 0.5, and A and B are disjoint, then P(A OR B) = 0.9.If the variance of a data set is zero, then all the observations in this data set are zero.The mean is always equal to the median for a normal distribution.It’s easier to reject the null hypothesis at significance level of 0.01 than at significancelevel of 0.05.(e) In a two-tailed test, the value of the test statistic is 2. If we know the test statistic follows aStudent’s t-distribution with P(T >2) = 0.03, then we have sufficient evidence to reject thenull hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance.2.Identify which of these types of sampling is used: cluster, convenience, simple random,systematic, or stratified.
