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
