Answer:

the question is incomplete, the complete question is giving below "If P(E) = 0, then E is an ________ event, and if P(E)=1, then E is a ________ event.

Fill in the blanks."

Answer:

impossible , certain

Explanation:

From the concept of probability,the certainty that an event will occur is not a surety event,hence wed express events in probability(it either occur or not).the probability values of event lies between 1 and 0. An event that is sure to occur no matter the giving condition is as a probability of 1 and An event that is sure not to occur no matter the giving condition is as a probability of 0.

Hence from this we can fill the question above

If P(E) = 0, then E is an impossible event, and if P(E)=1, then E is a certain event.
