Question

If A and B are independent events, P(A and B) =

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given A and B are independent events, P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

Answer 2

If A and B are independent events, then the events A and B' are also independent. Proof: The events A and B are independent, so, P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B). From the Venn diagram, we see that the events A ∩ B and A ∩ B' are mutually exclusive and together they form the event A.
