Question

If E and F are independent events, then:

A. E & F mutually exclusive
B. E & F (complement of the event F) are independent
C. E & F are independent
D. P(E/F) + P(E/F)=1

Answer 1

Two events E and F are considered independent if the likelihood of one event occurring does not affect the likelihood of the other event occurring.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events E and F are considered independent if the likelihood of one event occurring does not affect the likelihood of the other event occurring. In other words, if events E and F are independent, then knowledge of one event does not provide any information about the other event. Therefore, the correct option is C. E and F are independent events.
