Question

The probability of event A is x, and the probability of event B is y.

Answer 1

Answer:

A.  P(A l B) = x

Step-by-step explanation:

For independent events A and B,

P(B | A) = P(B)

P(A | B) = P(A)

P(A ∩ B) = P(A)P(B)

If P(A) = x   and   P(B) = y  then:

⇒ P(B | A) = y

⇒ P(A | B) = x

⇒ P(A ∩ B) = xy

Therefore, the correct solution from the options given is:

A.  P(A l B) = x
