Question

The compound probability of two events, E and F, is ; the probability of E is and of F is . In two or more complete sentences, explain why E and F are not independent.

Answer 1

Answer:

Events E and F are not independent if the probability of event E occurring is affecting the probability of event F occurring.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events are independent when the probability of one event occurring has no connection with that of the other event.

Example, when you toss a coin and roll a six sided die, the probability of getting a head or a tail has no connection with the probability of getting any number face.A real life example will be the probability going to the mall and owning a cat at home.These two have no influence on one another.

Mathematically independent events can be calculated as;

P(E∩F)=P(E)-P(F)
