Question

P(E') = P(F) = 0.6 and P(E n F) = 0.24:a. Write down P(E).b. Explain how you know E and F:i are independentii are not mutually exclusivec Find P(E u F').

Answer 1

Explanations:

Given the following probability values:

P(E') = 0.6

P(F) = 0.6

P(E n F) = 0.24

a) The probability of E [P(E)] is expressed according to the formula;

`\begin{gathered} P(E)=1-P(E^(\prime)) \\ P(E)=1-0.6 \\ P(E)=0.4 \end{gathered}`

b) For the events E and F to be independent, the product of their individual proban
