Question

I need help ASAP please

Which statement is true about whether Z and B are independent events?

A: Z and B are independent events because P(Z | B) =P(Z).
B: Z and B are independent events because P(Z | B) = P(B).
C: Z and B are not independent events because P(Z | B) ≠ P(Z).
D: Z and B are not independent events because P(Z | B) ≠ P(B).

Answer 1

The answer should be Option A

Answer 2

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent event means P(Z|B)=P(Z)

P(Z|B)=(Z ∩ B)/B
=(126)/280
=.45

P(Z)=297/660
=.45

Therefore they are independent events, and the answer is A.
