The probability for event A is 0.3, the probability for event B is 0.5, and the probability of events A and B is 0.25. No, they are not independent events.
The probability of an event is the possibility or likelihood for the event to occur.
In probability, an independent event has no impact and doesn't depend on the probability of another event taking place.
If the probability of event i.e.
- P(A) = 0.3, and:
- P(B) = 0.5
- P(A ∩ B) = 0.25
Then, if these events are independent, the intersection of P(A) and P(B) must be equal to P(A ∩ B).
- P(A) × P(B) = 0.3 × 0.5
- P(A) × P(B) = 0.15
P(A) and P(B) ≠ P(A ∩ B), Hence, they are not independent events.
Therefore, we can conclude that the event of A (0.3) and event of B(0.5) are independent events to P(A ∩ B)
