- All events are mutually exclusive. Find the probability in question.arrow_forwardThe table gives a set of outcomes and their probabilities. Let A be the event "the outcome is less than 2". Let B be the event "the outcome is less than or equal to 5". Find P(A or B). Outcome Probability 1 0.06 0.04 0.06 4 0.25 0.08 6. 0.36 7 0.15arrow_forwardEvents A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.25 and P(B) = 0.35. The probability of the complement of Event B equalsarrow_forward
- A and B are independent events. Use the following probabilities to answer the question. Round to 4 decimal places. P(A) = 0.39, P(A and B) = 0.31, find P(B)arrow_forward1. What is the probability that you will pass course b? 2. Are the events I’d paying the courses mutually exclusive? Explain your answer using probabilities.arrow_forwardLet A and B be two events such that the probability of B is 0.5 and the probability of both is 0.2. Find the probability of A given that B occurs.arrow_forward
- A couple has two children. Let A be the event that their first child is a boy and note that P(A) = 0.512. Let B be the event that their second child is a girl, with P(B) = 0.488. A and B are independent events. What is the probability that the couple has first child that is a boy and a second child that is a girl?arrow_forwardGiven P(A) = 0.10, P(B) = 0.63, P(C) = 0.53 and that events A, B, and C are independent, what is P(A, B, and C). Answer in decimal form. Round to 3 decimal places as needed.arrow_forwardThe events A and B are mutually exclusive.
