correct the answer

Answer 1

ANSWER:

Candidates rated on monday and tuesday are all different. no candidate is rated on both days. therefore, 3 candidates on monday rate above 7 and two candidates on tuesday rate above 7 will also be different. no candidate will be common in both events.

the correct option is: A

TRUE

The events A=(3 candidates on monday rate above 7) and B=(two candidates on tuesday rate above 7) are disjoint events.
