ILL MEDAL AND FAN!!!
The probability that Jane will go to a ballgame (event A) on a Monday is 0.73, and the probability that Kate will go to a ballgame (event B) the same day is 0.61. The probability that Kate and Jane both go to the ballgame on Monday is 0.52.

From the given scenario, we can conclude that events A and B are__________?

A. dependent events since P(A) is not equal to P(B)
B. dependent events since P(A and B) is not equal to P(A) * P(B)
C. independent events since P(A) is greater than P(B)
D. independent events since P(A) is not equal to P(B)

Do you know how to work out the probability of independent events?

e.g what is the probability of throwing a 6 on a dice AND tossing a head on a coin given 1 attempt at each?

knov · Answer

Events A and B are independent if P(A|B)=P(A)

@knov 
whilst that is true, it is not the relevant equation for THIS question
