Geno and Smith collaborated in a Math256 Midterm recently and both received 90 out of a possible 100 points. The events, Geno receiving 90 points and Jason receiving 90 points are : a. independent events b. disjoint events c. dependent events d. All of the answer options are correct.

Step 1
Independent events are those where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another event. In other words, the probability of one event occurring does not depend on the occurrence of the other event. Show more…

A. Events A and B have probabilities Pr(A|B) = Pr(B|A). Which of the following must be true? Answers: A and B are disjoint none of these A and B are independent Either A or B is the certain event A and B are equally probable B. Events A and B have probabilities Pr(A)=0.5 and Pr(B)=0.6. Based on this information, which of the following could describe these events? (Choose all that apply.) Answers: nondisjoint independent dependent disjoint none of these

If P(A/B) = P(A), or P(B/A) = P(B), then events A and B are said to be: Select one: a. mutually exclusive b. disjoint c. dependent d. independent e. B contains A.
