Answer: Approximately 0.51

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

If events A and B are independent, then P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) is a true equation.

We're given the following

  • P(A) = 0.65
  • P(A and B) = 0.33

So,

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

0.33 = 0.65*P(B)

P(B) = 0.33/0.65

P(B) = 0.5076923076923

which is approximate. When we round to 2 decimal places, we get 0.51
