If P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, P(A ∩ B) = 0, then ____________
Multiple Choice
A. event A and event B are mutually exclusive.
B. event A and event B are independent.
C. the probability of event A is not influenced by the probability of event B.
D. the probability of event B is not influenced by the probability of event A.
Solution:
A. event A and event B are mutually exclusive.
A and B are mutually exclusive ( disjoint ) events.
P(A B ) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A B )
Therefore, P(A B ) = 0

10. Suppose that A and B are mutually exclusive events for which P(A) 0.4,P(B) 0.3. The probability that neither A nor B occurs equals a) 0.6 b) 0.1 c)0.7 d0.9
Event A occurs with probability 0.3, and event B occurs with probability 0.4. If A and B are independent, we may concludeA. P(A and B) = 0.12.B. P(A|B) = 0.3.C. P(B|A) = 0.4.D. All of the above
Consider the following scenario: • Let P(C) = 0.2 • Let P(D) = 0.3 • Let P(C | D) = 0.4 A) FIND P(C AND D)= B)Are C and D mutually exclusive? Why or why not? C and D are mutually exclusive because they have different probabilities. C and D are not mutually exclusive because P(C) + P(D) ≠ 1 There is not enough information to determine if C and D are mutually exclusive. C and D are not mutually...
Event A and B are such that P(A)=0.3 , P(B)=0.4 . If the event A happens, then even B cannot happen. What is the probability of either A or B or Both?
Suppose that A and B are mutually exclusive and complementary events, such that P(A)=0.7 and P(B)=0.3. Consider another event C such that P(C/A)-0.2 and P(C/B)=0.3. What is P(C)?

Two events, A and B, are mutually exclusive and each has a nonzero probability. If event A is known to occur, the probability of the occurrence of event B is A.One B.Any positive value C.Zero D. Any value between 0 to 1 Suppose that the probability of event A is 0.2 and the probability of event B is 0.4. Also, suppose that the two events are independent. Then P(A∩B) is: a.P(A) = 0.2 b. P(A)/P(B) = 0.2/0.4 = 0.05 c....
