解析

已知:事件X发生的概率与事件Y发生的概率相同。两事件相互独立。 设P(X发生) = p 则我们也可以得出:P(Y发生) = p **常用性质**:P(事件A发生) = 1 - P(事件A不发生) 因此,P(X不发生) = 1 - p P(Y不发生) = 1 - p 若事件A、B相互独立,且P(A)=a、P(B)=b,则两事件同时发生的概率为: P(A且B) = a×b 所以,P(X且Y发生) = p×p = p² 同理,P(X且Y都不发生) = (1-p)(1-p) = (1-p)² = 1 - 2p + p² 由此我们得出: A项:p² B项:1 - 2p + p² 给两式同时减去p²: A项:0 B项:1 - 2p 给两式同时加上2p: A项:2p B项:1 给两式同时除以2: A项:p B项:0.5 由于p的值可能小于0.5、等于0.5或大于0.5,因此正确答案是D。
