Question

question 4
10 pts
for two independent events a and b the formula is
\\(p(a \text{ and } b) = p(\text{not } a) \cdot p(b)\\)
true
false

Explanation:

Recall definition of independent events

$$ P(A \text{ and } B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) $$

Compare with the given statement

$$ P(A \text{ and } B) = P(\text{not } A) \cdot P(B) $$

Since \(P(A)
eq P(\text{not } A)\) in general, the given formula is incorrect.

Answer:

  • True
  • (B) False (Correct answer)
