Question

If A and B are independent events, P(A and B) =

A. P(A)
B. P(B)
C. P(A) * P(B)
D. P(A) + P(B)​

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Since events A and B occur independently, it means that if A occurs, B May or May Not occur, vice versa. (basically, event A and B can occur on its own or together which are not dependent on the other event)

For probability of A and B to occur, and that probability of A / Probability of B occurring are not dependent on each other at any circumstance, u need to multiply the P(A) and P(B) to find out the chances of A and B occurring.
