if C and D are independent are C^c and D^c independent

OpenStudy (zarkon):

yes

OpenStudy (zarkon):

so are C^c and D also C and D^c

OpenStudy (zarkon):

no...you can prove it

OpenStudy (zarkon):

let me use ' for complement P(C',D')=1-P(C or D) =1-P(C)-P(D)+P(C,D) =1-P(C)-P(D)+P(C)P(D) =1-P(C)-P(D)(1-P(C)) =(1-P(C))(1-P(D)) =P(C')P(D') hence they are independent

thanks

OpenStudy (zarkon):

no problem
