sure what is your question

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

Anyone can they please try??????

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Just to confirm your understanding, can you complete the definition of independence: \[\large P(A \cap B)=?\]

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

yes

OpenStudy (kropot72):

What is the right hand side of the definition? Please post it here.

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

=0.75

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

for the first one correct?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

I think you should post the definition of independence of events A and B before we continue.

OpenStudy (kropot72):

The definition of independence is as follows: Events A and B are independent if and only if\[\large P(A\cap B)=P(A) \times P(B)\] Using this definition, are the events in 1a independent?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

It appears from your answers that either you are guessing or you do not understand the definition of independence (or both).

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

Im not guessing thats the answers i got

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Well how did you get the answer 'dependent' for 1a ?

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

.45(30)=.135 that cancels out .75 so its not independent

OpenStudy (kropot72):

The correct explanation for 1a is as follows: P(A) = 0.45 P(B) = 0.3 If events A and B were independent \[\large P(A) \times P(B)=0.135\] However A intersection B = 0.75, therefore the events are dependent.
