If p(a | b) = 0.4, p(b) = 0.8, and p(a) = 0.5, are the events a and b independent?

The events A and B are not independent.

Given that,

                  P(A|B) = 0.4

                  P(A) = 0.5

                  P(B) = 0.8

Two events A and B are said to be independent, if P(A∩B) = P(A) P(B)

We have, P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)

Therefore, P(A∩B) = P(A|B) P(B) = 0.4 x 0.8 = 0.32

Now P(A) P(B) = 0.5 x 0.8 = 0.4

So P(A∩B) ≠ P(A)P(B)

Therefore, the events A and B are not independent.

Water flows at 12 m/s in a horizontal pipe with a pressure of 3.0 104 n/m2. if the pipe widens to twice its original radius, wh
Alexxx [7]
Total pressure is constant and PT = P = 1/2*ρ*v^2 So p1 + 1/2*ρ*v1^2 = p2 + 1/2*ρ*v2^2 and from continuity we have ρ*A1*v1 = ρ*A2*v2 So v2 = v1*A1/A2 since r2 = 2r1 then A2 = 4A1 so v2 = v1/4 Now from above p2 = p1 + 1/2*ρ*v1^2 - 1/2*ρ*v2^2 = p1 + 1/2*ρ*v1^2 - 1/2*ρ*v1^2/4^2 So p2 = 3.0x10^4Pa + 1/2*1000kg/m^3*(12m/s)^2 - 1/2*1000kg/m^3*12^2/16 = 9.75x10^4Pa = 9.8x10^4Pa
