Answer: The probability of event B, P(B), is 2.00.
Explanation:
1. The formula for the probability of two independent events A and B occurring together is P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).
2. We know that P(A) = 0.02 and P(A and B) = 0.04.
3. Substituting these values into the formula, we get 0.04 = 0.02 * P(B).
4. Solving for P(B), we divide both sides of the equation by 0.02.
5. This gives us P(B) = 0.04 / 0.02 = 2.00.
Please note that probabilities typically range from 0 to 1, so a probability of 2.00 seems unusual. It might be worth double-checking the provided probabilities for events A and B.
