If ( P ( A B )= 2 3 , P ( A B )= 1 6 ) and ( P ( A )= 1 3 ) then
Options
- AA and ( B ) are independent events
- BA and ( B ) are disjoint events
- CA and ( B ) are dependent events
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. A and ( B ) are independent events
Step-by-step solution
( P ( A B )= P ( A )+ P ( B )- P ( AB ) ) ( 2 3 = 1 3 + P ( B )- 1 6 P ( B )= 1 2 ) Now, ( P ( AB )= P ( A )~ P ( B ), A ) and ( B ) are independent events.
