Question

Two non-simultaneous events have an equal likelihood of occurring (50%). If the events are independent of each other, what is the probability that they will both occur?

Answer 1

I got 25% on edmentum

Explanation:

Answer 2

There are 4 possibilities:

1) No event happens
2) event A happens, not event B
3) event B happens, not event A
4) both events happen

seeing as there is a 50% chance of either event happening, I would assume that all 4 possibilities have an equal chance of happening

so if there are 4 events, then each one is 25% likely.

So the probability if them both occurring is 25%

I think
