Question

Given that events A and B are independent with P(A)=0.3P(A)=0.3 and P(A\cap B)=0.27P(A∩B)=0.27, determine the value of P(B)P(B), rounding to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since A and B are independent  hence;

P(A∩B) = P(A)P(B)

Given the following

P(A∩B) = 0.27

P(A) = 0.3

Required

P(B)

Substitute into the formula;

P(B) = P(A∩B)/P(A)

P(B) = 0.27/0.3

P(B) = 0.9

Hence the value of P(B) is 0.9
