Assume that A and B are independent events with P(A)= 0.30 and P(B)= 0.50.The probability that both events will occur simultaneously is 0.80.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If A and B were truly independent, then the probability of both occurring simultaneously would be P(A) * P(B) = 0.30 * 0.50 = 0.15. Since the given probability is greater than this, it suggests that A and B are not independent after all. Therefore, the statement is false.
