Question

Stating that two events are statistically independent means that the probability of one event occurring is independent of the probability of the other event having occurred.a. Trueb. False

Answer 1

The correct answer is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events are independent if the result of the second event is not affected by the result of the first event. If A and B are independent events, the probability of both events occurring is the product of the probabilities of the individual events.

Independent events occur either when:

• The process that generates the random element does not eliminate any possible results or .
• The process that eliminates a possible result, but the result is replaced before a second action occurs. (This is called getting a replacement.).
