Question

A and B are independent events. Use the following probabilities to answer the question. Round to 4 decimal places.

P(A) = 0.32, P(A and B) = 0.09, find P(B)

P(B) =

Answer 1

Explanation:

since p(a) and p(b) are independent events

p(a).p(b)= p(a and b)

0.32×p(b)=0.09

p(b)=0.09÷0.32

p(b)=0.28

Answer 2

.2813

Explanation:

If two events are independent that means that

A*B= A and B

so

let p(b)= x

.09=.32*x

x= .28125

Round this to

.2813
