Question

What is the P(A and B) if P(A) = 1/2 and P(B) = 2/7, where A and B are independent events?5/81/71/121/2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of independent events that occur, the product of the probabilities of the individual events occurring must be calculated.

Therefore if A and B are independent events then:

P (A and B) = P (A) • P (B)

The exercise is as follows:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)*(2)/(7)=(2)/(14);\text{ Now }we\text{ must take }square\text{ r}oot; \\ (2)/(14)=(1)/(7) \\ \text{ANSWER: }(1)/(7) \end{gathered}`

NOTE:

To obtain the product of two fractions, the numerators must be multiplied with each other and the denominators must also be multiplied with each other.
