Question

The probability of event A is 0.65, and the probability of event B is 0.76. The probability of both event A and event B occurring is 0.494. Are events A and B dependent or independent? In this scenario, events A and B are events.

Answer 1

both are independent

Explanation:

Answer 2

A and B are independent events

Explanation:

Here, we want to know if both events are dependent or independent

If both are independent;

Then;

P( A nB) = P(A) * P(B)

In this case, that will be;

0.65 * 0.76 = 0.494

Since what we have is the same as what was given in the question, then we can conclude that both are independent events
