Question

P(B) = 2/3P(An B) = 1/6What will P(A) have to be for A and B to be independent?1/211/121/45/6

Answer 1

P(B) = 2/3

P(An B) = 1/6

What will P(A) have to be for A and B to be independent?

Remember that

Events A and B are independent if the equation P(A∩B) = P(A) · P(B) holds true

substitute given values

1/6=P(A)*(2/3)

solve for P(A)

P(A)=1/4
