The probability of event A is x, and the probability of event B is y. If the two events are independent, which condition must be true?

P(A|B) = y

P(B|A) = x

P(A and B) = x + y

P(A and B) = xy

what defines independence?

anonymous · Answer

idk this is the first time doing this

amistre64 · Answer

if things are indepedant of each other, then the probability of one is not conditional on the other.

amistre64 · Answer

if the probability of A given B, is identical to the probability of A.  then the probability of A is the same regardless of its association with B
