An event A will occur with probability 0.5. An event B will occur with probability 0.6. The probability that both A and B will occur is 0.1. Which of the following is the conditional probability of A, given B? Cannot be determined 3/10 1/2 1/5 1/6
Added by James M.
Step 1
By definition, this is the probability of A and B occurring together, divided by the probability of B occurring: P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B) We are given that P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.6, and P(A and B) = 0.1. Show more…

'12. An event A will occur with probability 0.5. An event B will occur with probability 0.6. The probability that both and B will occur is 0.1. The conditional probability of A given B is 1/6. (b) is 0.2 is 0.3_ Cannot be determined from the information given.'

Event A has a probability of 0.5 and Event B has a probability of 0.4. If A and B are mutually exclusive (disjoint) events, what is the probability that either A or B (or both) occur(s)? A. 0.1 B. 0.3 C. 0.4 D. 0.7 E. 0.9

Event A has a probability of 0.3 of occurring. Event B has a probability of 0.5 of occurring. If A and B are Mutually exclusive, then the probability P (A U B) is Select one: a. 0.15 b. 0.65 c. 0.8 d. 0.0 e. 0.02
