Question

Which statement implies that A and B are independent events?

O A. P(B|A) = P(B N A)
O B.
P(BA) = P(B)
P(A)
O C.
P(B|A) = P(A)
OD.
P(BA) = P(B)

Answer 1

`P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)`

Explanation:

Independent events:

If two events, A and B are independent, the probability of both A and B happening is the same as the probability of A happening multiplied by the probability of B happenings, that is:

`P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)`

In this question:

The statement is
`P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)`
