Question

Two non-simultaneous events each have an equal likelihood of occurring (50%). If the events are independent of each other, what is the probability that they will both occur? A. 50% B. 25% C. 35% D. 30% E. 40%

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

Answer 2

B. 25%

Explanation:

Let's take name the two events as A and B.

The probability event A occurs = 50% = 0.5

The probability even B occurs = 50% = 0.5

Both are independent event.

Therefore, the probability that they will both occurs = P(A). P(B)

= 0.5 * 0.5

= 0.25

To convert into percentage multiply by 100.

=0.25*100 = 25%

The answer is B. 25%
