Question

A video game randomly chooses your car color and type. The probability of

getting a red car is 0.25, and the probability of getting a convertible is 0,40,
Event A - You get a red car
Event B - You get a convertible
A and B are independent events if
A. The probability of getting a red convertible is 0.
B. The probability of getting a red convertible is 0.10.
C. The probability of getting a red car or a convertible is 0.10
D. The probability of getting a red car or a convertible is 0.65,

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

Answer 2

B. The probability of getting a red convertible is 0.10 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The events in probability two are independent if event one does not affect the other one. Mathematically, the formula is P(A&B)=P(A)xP(B). To find the answer, it's necessary to consider that P(A) is .25 and P(B) is .40 and if both events are independent we have P(A&B) = P(A)xP(B) and P(AxB)=.25*.4=.10, so B is the correct answer.
