P(A)=0.5, P(B)=0.6, P(A\cup B)=0.8

We find the probability of intersection using the inclusion/exclusion principle:


P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)=0.3


By definition of conditional probability,


P(A\mid B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}=\dfrac{0.3}{0.6}=0.5


For A and B to be independent, we must have


P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)

in which case we have 0.3=0.5\cdot0.6, which is true, so A and B are indeed independent.


Or, to establish independence another way, in terms of conditional probability, we must have

P(A\mid B)\cdot P(B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)\implies P(A\mid B)=P(A)


which is also true.

What is 0.275 0.20 0.572 and 0.725 greatest to least
Andru [333]
.725 , .572 , .275, .2
You look at the first decimal place to see which is the greatest. 7 is greater than 5 and 2 so it's first. Then 5 is greater than 2 so it is next. For the last two numbers since 2 is the same value you look at the next decimal place. Since 7 is greater than 0 it comes next!
