4.6 Independent Events and Unions of Events

Cards (70)

  • Independent events are events where the occurrence of one does not influence the probability of the other
  • P(A | B) = P(A) means the probability of A given that B has occurred is equal to the probability of A

    True
  • For independent events A and B, if P(A) = 0.5 and P(B) = 0.5, then P(A and B) = 0.25
    True
  • If P(A) = 13/52, then P(A) = 0.25
  • For independent events, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)*P(B)
    True
  • Two events A and B are independent if P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)
  • If P(A | B) = P(A), then events A and B are independent
    True
  • The joint probability of two independent events is the product of their individual probabilities
  • The probability of the union of events is calculated using the formula P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B), where P(A∩B) is the probability of their intersection
  • What is the value of P(A | B) if events A and B are independent?
    P(A)
  • The addition rule for unions of events states that P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B), where P(A∩B) is the probability of their intersection
  • The formula for the addition rule is `P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B
  • For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B
  • The probability of a union of events is calculated using the formula `P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B
  • The key properties of independent events include P(A \| B) = P(A)
  • For independent events, P(A and B) is calculated as P(A) * P(B)
  • The joint probability of independent events is the product of their individual probabilities
  • For independent events, P(A | B) = P(A)
    True
  • The probability that both A and B occur for independent events is the product of their individual probabilities

    True
  • The union of events, denoted as A∪B, includes all outcomes that belong to either event A or event B
  • For a union of events, if P(A) = 0.25, P(B) = 0.0769, and P(A∩B) = 0.0192, then P(A∪B) ≈ 0.3077
    True
  • For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)
  • If P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B), then events A and B are independent
    True
  • For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)
    True
  • Flipping a coin twice results in independent events.
    True
  • If P(A) = 1/6 and P(B) = 1/2, and A∩B occurs when rolling a 2, what is P(A∪B)?
    1/2
  • For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).
    True
  • If P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.5, and P(A and B) = 0.2, what is P(A or B)?
    0.7
  • What is the value of P(A or B) if P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.5, and P(A and B) = 0.2?
    0.7
  • What is the value of P(A and B) for independent events if P(A) = 1/6 and P(B) = 1/6?
    1/36
  • What is the value of P(A or B) if P(A) = 0.25, P(B) ≈ 0.0769, and P(A and B) ≈ 0.0192?
    0.3077
  • What does it mean for two events to be independent?
    Occurrence of one does not influence the other
  • What is the definition of independent events in comparison to dependent events?
    Occurrence of one does not affect the other
  • What is the key difference in the formula for joint probability between independent and dependent events?
    P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)
  • The addition rule calculates the probability of the union
  • If P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.5, and P(A and B) = 0.2, then P(A or B) = 0.7.

    True
  • When rolling a six-sided die, the probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6.

    True
  • Match the probability concepts with their formulas:
    Union of events ↔️ P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
    Multiplication rule for independent events ↔️ P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)
  • The probability of getting heads on the first flip and tails on the second flip is 0.25
  • What is the first step in solving combined probability problems involving unions of events?
    Use the formula for P(A or B)
