Question

If the probability of Event A occurring is 0.6, and the probability of Event B occurring is 0.4, what is the probability of both events happening together, assuming they are independent?a.0.24b.0.1c.0.06d.0.16

Solution

The probability of two independent events happening together is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each event.

So, the probability of both Event A and Event B occurring is:

0.6 (probability of Event A) * 0.4 (probability of Event B) = 0.24

So, the answer is a. 0.24.

Given P(A) = 0.9 and P(B) = 0.3, do the following.(a) If A and B are independent events, compute P(A and B).(b) If P(A | B) = 0.6, compute P(A and B).Step 1(a) If A and B are independent events, compute P(A and B).To compute P(A and B) means that we wish to find the probability that both A happened and B happened.Recall that two events are independent if the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one event does not change the probability that the other event will occur.We are given that A and B are independent events, so we can use the multiplication rule for independent events. It is also given that P(A) = 0.9 and P(B) = 0.3.P(A and B)  =  P(A) · P(B) =  (0.9) ·    =
