Question

Select the correct answer. The probability that Ashley drives faster than the speed limit (event A) is 0. 34, and the probability that he gets a speeding ticket (event B) is 0. 22. The probability that he drives faster than the speed limit, given that he has gotten a speeding ticket, is 1. Are events A and B dependent or independent? A. Dependent B. Independent C. Insufficient data D. Depends on the other events in the sample space.

Answer 1

Depends on other factors, although I'm not certain, so to speak.

Explanation:

We don't know the probability of Ashley getting a speeding ticket when he is not speeding. [It happens].

Otherwise, event B is dependent on event A. Speeding must occur to initiate event B.
