Question
If P(A|B)=0.1, P(A)=0.09, thus events A and B are___ If P(C|D)=0.3, P(D)=0.3, thus events C and D are___A.not independentindependentB.independentnot independentC.independentindependentD.not independentnot independent
Solution
The independence of two events A and B can be determined by comparing P(A) and P(A|B). If P(A) = P(A|B), then the events are independent. If P(A) ≠ P(A|B), then the events are not independent.
-
For events A and B: Given that P(A|B) = 0.1 and P(A) = 0.09, since P(A|B) ≠ P(A), events A and B are not independent.
-
For events C and D: Given that P(C|D) = 0.3 and P(D) = 0.3, since P(C|D) = P(D), events C and D are independent.
So, the correct answer is A. not independent, independent.

It is also given that P(A) = 0.9 and P(B) = 0.3.P(A and B) = P(A) · P(B) = (0.9) · =

If P(A) = 0.70 and P(B) = 0.20, then A and B are independent events if _____.A.P(A or B) = 0.14B.P(A and B) = 0C.P(A and B) = 0.14D.P(A or B) = 0.90SUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
Since P(A | B) ≠ P(A), the occurrence of event B the probability that event A will occur. This implies that A and B are not independent events.
