Question

The probability of event A occurring is 50%, and the probability of event B occurring is 25%. Events A and B are nonsimultaneous events. What is the probability that event A occurs but event B does not occur?

Answer 1

The probability of event A occurs but event B does not occur = P(A)* Probability of event B does not occur = 0.375

Explanation:

The probability of event A occurring = 50% = 0.5

The probability of event B occurring = 25% = 0.25

Events A and B are non simultaneous events.

The probability of event B does not occur = 1 - P(B)

= 1- 0.25

= 0.75

So the probability of event A occurs but event B does not occur = P(A)* Probability of event B does not occur

= 0.5*0.75

= 0.375

Thank you.
