Exercise: Let P(A) = 0.4 and P(A U B) = 0.6. For what value of P(B) are Aand B independent? Solution: Events A and B are independent if P(AN B) = P(A)P(B) P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) — P(AN B) = P(A) + P(B) — P(A)P(B). Thus, 0.6 = P(A) + P(B)[1 — P(A)] => 0.6 = 0.44 P(B)[1 — 0.4] Oe “0.6 — 0.4 = (0.6)P(B) = P(B) = 7 =5 1 As a consequence, P(B) = = IMR.OSAMA ABDULFATTAH ALSATTARI
