A. Align with mortality rate conventions
B. Match the scale of Crude Birth Rate
C. Simplify calculation
D. Avoid small decimal values and facilitate comparison

Question #2
If P(A)=0.4, P(A∪B)=0.7, then the probability of B will be maximum when A and B are:
A. Mutually exclusive
B. A is a subset of B
C. B is a subset of A
D. Independent

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B). To maximize P(B) given P(A∪B)=0.7 and P(A)=0.4, set P(A∩B)=P(A)=0.4 (i.e., A⊂B). Then 0.7=0.4+P(B)-0.4 => P(B)=0.7 max.
