Suppose P(A)=05.0, P(B)=0.75, and A and B are independent. The probability of the complement of the event (A and B) is :

a. 1-(.50 + .25 = .25

b. 0.50 + .25 = .75

c. 1-(.5 x .75) = .625

which is the correct answer?

Answer #1

Solution:

Given:

P(A) =0.50

P(B)= 0.75

A and B are independent.

We have to find:

P(A and B)c =...........?

P(A and B)c = 1 - P(A and B)

P(A and B)c = 1 - [ P(A) x P(B) ]  

(Since A and B are independent , P(A and B) =P(A) x P(B) )

P(A and B)c = 1 - [ 0.50 x 0.75 ]

P(A and B)c = 1 - 0.375

P(A and B)c = 0.625

Thus correct answer is: c. 1-(.5 x .75) = .625

    Proofs a) With conditional probability, P(A|B), the axioms of probability hold for the event on the left side of the bar. A useful consequence is applying the complement rule to conditional probability. We have that P(A|B) = 1 − P(A|B). Prove this by showing that P(A|B) + P(A|B) = 1 (Hint: just use the definition of conditional probability) b) If two events A and B are independent, then we know P(A ∩ B) = P(A)P(B). A fact is that if...
