Two events A and B are independent, if
(A) A and B are mutually exclusive
(B) \(P\left(A^{\prime} \cap B^{\prime}\right)=[1-P(A)][1-P(B)]\)
(C) \(P\left(A^{\prime}\right)=P\left(B^{\prime}\right)\)
(D) P(A) + P(B) = 1
(E) P(A) = P(B)

  1. A A and B only
  2. B B only
  3. C B and C only
  4. D C and D only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) B only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If A and B are independent, then A' and B' are also independent. \(P(A' \cap B') = P(A')P(B')\) \(P(A' \cap B') = [1-P(A)][1-P(B)]\) Thus, (B) is a condition for A and B to be independent.
