Question

If Event A and Event B are independent, what is the outcome if Event A occurs with a probability of 0.18 and Event B occurs with a probability of 0.44?

Answer 1

0.0792

Explanation:

Independent events are events in which the outcome of one does not affect the outcome of the other. That means what happens in one event has no effect on what happens in another event.

Mathematically, P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

The outcome of this is thus multiplying the probability of A by the probability of B

P(A and B) = 0.18 * 0.44= 0.0792
