Answer:
The value of P (A ∩ B) is 0.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Independent events are those events that do not effect the occurrence of each other, i.e. if event <em>X </em>and <em>Y</em> are independent then the occurrence of <em>X</em> and <em>Y </em>are not influenced by each other.
For independent events <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> the joint probability of <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> is:
It is provided that events <em>A</em> and <em>B </em>are independent of each other.
And P (A) = P (B) = 0.50.
Compute the value of P (A ∩ B) as follows:
Thus, the value of P (A ∩ B) is 0.25.
