Question
Let A and B be two events such that
=
, P(A ∩ B) =
and P(
) =
, where
stands for the complement of the event A. Then the events A and B are
=
, P(A ∩ B) =
and P(
) =
, where
stands for the complement of the event A. Then the events A and B areOptions
A.Independent but not equally likely
B.Independent and equally likely
C.Mutually exclusive and independent
D.Equally likely but not independent
Solution
=
⇒ P(A ∪ B) = 1-
P(
) =
⇒ P(A) = 1 -
∵ P(A ∪ B) = P(A)+ P(B) - P(A ∩ B)
+ P(B) -
P(B) =
∵ P(A) ≠ P(B) so they are not equally likely.
Also P(A) × P(B)

= P(A ∩ B)
∵ P(A ∩ B) = P(A).P(B) so A & B are independent.
