P(F) = 0.5
P(L) = 0.3
$P(F\cap L)=0.2$
$P(F\cap L')=0.5-0.2=0.3$
$P(F'\cap L)=0.3-0.2=0.1$
$P(F'\cap L')=1-0.3-0.2-0.1=0.4$

For each set of probabilities, determine whether the events A and B are independent or dependent.

lozanna [386]

Answers:

(a) Independent
(b) Dependent
(c) Dependent
(d) Independent

========================================================

Explanation:

If events A and B are independent, then the two following equations must both be true

P(A | B) = P(A)
P(B | A) = P(B)

This is because the conditional probability P(A|B) means "P(A) when B has happened". If B were to happen, then P(A) must be the same as before. In other words, event B does not affect A, and vice versa.

For part (a), we have P(B) = 1/4 and P(B|A) = 1/4 showing that P(B|A) = P(B) is true, and therefore we can say the events are independent. We don't need the info that P(A) = 1/8.

------------------------

Unlike part (a), part (b) has the answer "dependent" because P(A) = 1/8 and P(A | B) = 1/3 differ in value. Event A starts off at probability 1/8, but then event B occurring means P(A) gets increased to 1/3. The prior knowledge about B changes the chances of A. The P(B) = 1/5 is unneeded.

------------------------

If A and B were independent, then,

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

However,

P(A)*P(B) = (1/4)*(1/5) = 1/20

which is not the same as P(A and B) = 1/6. Therefore the two events are dependent.

------------------------

Refer back to part (a)

P(A) = 1/4 and P(A|B) = 1/4 are identical in value, so P(A|B) = P(A) which leads to the events being independent. Whether we know event B happened or not, it does not affect the outcome of event A. P(B) = 1/9 is unneeded.

Can someone please HELP me on how to do this

frutty [35]

Answer:

4)x= g-c

5)x =u+k

6)x = g-c

7) $a=\frac{k}{u}$

8) $x= \frac{g}{c}$

9) $a=\frac{4}{12m}$

10) $x= \frac{2c+3}{3}$

11) $a=\frac{n+p}{m}$

12) $a= \frac{ub}{k}$

13)a= d -r + c

14) $x=\frac{np}{m}$

Step-by-step explanation:

4) g= c+x

x= g-c

5) u=x-k

x =u+k

6)g = c+x

x = g-c

7) $u=\frac{k}{a} \\\\a=\frac{k}{u}$

8) g=xc

$x= \frac{g}{c}$

9) 12am = 4

$a=\frac{4}{12m}$

10)-3x+2c = -3

2c = -3 +3x

2c +3 = 3x

$x= \frac{2c+3}{3}$

11) am= n+p

$a=\frac{n+p}{m}$

12) $u = \frac{ak}{b} \\\\u*b = ak\\\\a= \frac{ub}{k}$

13)a-c = d-r

a= d -r + c

14)xm= np

$x=\frac{np}{m}$
