3. For two events A and B, given that P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.5, and P(A | B) = 0.8, find the following: a. P(A ∩ B) b. P(A | B) c. P(B | A) Are the events A and B independent? Explain:
Added by Michael R.
Step 1
P(A ∩ B) = P(B) * P(A | B) = 0.5 * 0.8 = 0.4 b. P(A | B) is already given as 0.8 Show more…

Suppose that P(A) = 0.4 and P(A ∩ B) = 0.12. (a) Find P(B|A). (b) Are events A and B mutually exclusive? (c) If P(B) = 0.3, are events A and B independent?

A- Let A and B two events such that P(A) = 0.4 and P(A or B) =0.7. Find P(B) if A and B are independent. B- Let A and B two events such that P(A) = 0.6 and P(A or B) =0.8. Find P(B) if A and B are mutually exclusive events.

Use the information that, for events $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$, we have $P(A)=0.8, P(B)=0.4$, and $P(A$ and $B)=0.25.$ Are events A and B independent?
