Question

Let F denote the event that the respondent is female and A denote the event that the

respondent uses social media and other websites to voice opinions about television
programs. Are events F and A independent?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

F denote the event that the respondent is female and A denote the event that the respondent uses social media and other websites to voice opinions about television programs.

Two events are said to be independent if both events can occur together at the same time, that is the probability of one event occurring does not affect the probability of the other event occurring. Events F and A are independent event because both F and A can occur the same time simultaneously. And also if F occurs, it does not affect the occurrence of A.
