Two events, A and B, are independent of each other. P(A) = 1/6 and P(A and B) = 1/8. What is P(B) written as a decimal? Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Respuesta :

to find P(A and B) you multiply the individual probabilities so we have:-

P(A) * P( B)  = 1/8

1/6  * P(B) = 1/8
P(B)  = 1/8 * 6   = 3/4   = 0.75 as a decimal

If two events, A and B, are independent of each other. Then the probability of event B is 3/4 or 0.75.

Which pair of events are called independent events?

When one event's occurrence or non-occurrence doesn't affect the occurrence or non-occurrence of other events, then such events are called independent events.

Symbolically, we have:

Two events A and B are said to be independent if we have:

[tex]\rm P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)[/tex]

Two events, A and B, are independent of each other. P(A) = 1/6 and P(A and B) = 1/8.

Then the probability of the event B will be

[tex]\rm P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)\\\\P(B) = \dfrac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}\\\\P(B) = \dfrac{1/8}{1/6}\\\\P(B) = \dfrac{6}{8}\\\\P(B) = \dfrac{3}{4} = 0.75[/tex]
