Answer:
A and B are not independent events because P(A|B)≠P(A)
is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
If A and B are independent then we must have
P(AB) = P(A) P(B) and also
P(A/B) = P(A)
We are given that
A and B are two events.
Let P(A)=0.5 , P(B)=0.25 , and P(A and B)=0.15 .
P(A/B) = P(AB)/P(B) = 0.15/0.5 = 0.3
i.e. P(A/B) is not equal P(A)
Similarly P(B/A) = P(AB)/P(A) = 0.15/0.25 = 0.6 not equal to P(B)
Hence A and B are not independent.
