问题 For each of Questions 1 to 9, compare Quantity A and Quantity B, using additional information centered above the two quantities if such information is given. Select one of the following four answer choices and fill in the corresponding oval to the right of the question.
(A)Quantity A is greater.
(B)Quantity B is greater.
(C)The two quantities are equal.
(D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
A symbol that appears more than once in a question has the same meaning throughout the question.

答案A

解析 Since event E will either occur or not occur, it follows that p + s = 1, and the value of Quantity A is always 1. Since Quantity B is the product of the two probabilities p and s, you need to look at its value for the cases p = 1, p = 0, and 0    If p = 1, then s = 0; similarly, if p = 0, then s = 1. In both cases, ps is equal to 0.
    If 0 < p < 1, both p and s are positive and less than 1, so ps is positive and less than 1. Since Quantity A is equal to 1 and Quantity B is less than 1, the correct answer is Choice A.
