Pasha · Answer 1

P (a) = 0.8

p (b|a) = 0.4 i. e (probability of b after event a has happened)

p (a n b) ≠ 0.32

false

cause the equation asks for mutually exclusive events nd not the inclusive event prob for b

Given that events a and b are independent and that p (a) = 0.8 and p (b|a) = 0.4, then p (a andb. = 0.32.a. Trueb. False

Given that events a and b are independent and that p (a) = 0.8 and p (b|a) = 0.4, then p (a and

b. = 0.32.

a. True

b. False
