Question

Given the following information about events A, B, and C, determine which pairs of events, if any, are independent andwhich pairs are mutually exclusive.

Answer 1

Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:

`\begin{gathered} P(A)=0.39 \\ P(B)=0.42 \\ P(C)=0.19 \\ P(A|B)=0 \\ P(C|B)=0.19 \\ P(A|C)=0.39 \end{gathered}`

When two events A and B are independent we have it thus:
