Suppose $A$, $B$ and $C$ are three events and $P ( A ) = a , P ( B ) = b , P ( C ) = c$ are known. Let $P ( A \cup B \cup C ) = p$. The statements below are about whether we can find the value of $p$ if we know some additional information. (Note: $\cup$ is the same as OR. Similarly $\cap$ is the same as AND.)
Statements
(33) We can find the value of $p$ if we know that at least one of $a , b , c$ is 1. (34) We can find the value of $p$ if we know that at least one of $a , b , c$ is 0. (35) We can find the value of $p$ if we know that any two of $A , B$ and $C$ are mutually exclusive. (36) We can find the value of $p$ if we know that any two of $A , B$ and $C$ are independent and we know the value of $P ( A \cap B \cap C )$.

In information theory, when an event $E$ occurs, the information content $I ( E )$ of event $E$ is defined as follows:
$$I ( E ) = - \log _ { 2 } \mathrm { P } ( E )$$
Which of the following statements in $\langle$Remarks$\rangle$ are correct? (Note: The probability $\mathrm { P } ( E )$ of event $E$ is positive, and the unit of information content is bits.) [4 points]
$\langle$Remarks$\rangle$ ㄱ. If event $E$ is rolling an odd number on a single die, then $I ( E ) = 1$. ㄴ. If two events $A$ and $B$ are independent and $\mathrm { P } ( A \cap B ) > 0$, then $I ( A \cap B ) = I ( A ) + I ( B )$. ㄷ. For two events $A$ and $B$ with $\mathrm { P } ( A ) > 0$ and $\mathrm { P } ( B ) > 0$, we have $2 I ( A \cup B ) \leqq I ( A ) + I ( B )$.
(1) ㄱ

In information theory, when an event $E$ occurs, the information content $I ( E )$ of the event $E$ is defined as follows. $$I ( E ) = - \log _ { 2 } \mathrm { P } ( E )$$ Which of the following are correct? Select all that apply from . (Note: the probability that event $E$ occurs, $\mathrm { P } ( E )$, is positive, and the unit of information content is bits.) [4 points]
ㄱ. If event $E$ is rolling one die and getting an odd number, then $I ( E ) = 1$. ㄴ. If two events $A , B$ are independent and $\mathrm { P } ( A \cap B ) > 0$, then $I ( A \cap B ) = I ( A ) + I ( B )$. ㄷ. For two events $A , B$ with $\mathrm { P } ( A ) > 0 , \mathrm { P } ( B ) > 0$, we have $2 I ( A \cup B ) \leqq I ( A ) + I ( B )$.
