On a certain ship that sank, the probability of survival was 0.294. Among first class passengers, it was 0.563. Were survival and ticket class independent? Explain. Choose the correct answer below. A. Yes , because the probability of survival and the probability of survival given a first class passenger are the same. B. No , because the probability of survival and the probability of survival given a first class passenger are not the same. C. Yes , because the probability of survival and the probability of survival given a first class passenger are not the same. D. No , because the probability of survival and the probability of survival given a first class passenger are the same.

    B

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability of survival=P (S) = 0.294

    Probability of Survival given 1st class = P (S|1st) = 0.563

    For events to be independent P (S) = P (S|1st)

    Here, P (S) is not equal to P (S | 1st)

    So, A, C and D are eliminated
