Question

The Multiplication Rule says that P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B). What must be true about events A and B for this rule to apply?

Answer 1

Answer:

Events A and B are independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Multiplication rule for events A and B

$P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)$

We have to write true statement about events A and B for this rule to apply.

We know that when two events A and B  are independent

Then, the probability

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

Therefore, true statement about events A and B for this rule to apply  is given by

Events A and B are independent.
