Event A has probability 0.4 event B has probability 0.5 If A and B are disjoint then the probability that both events occur is?
If two events are disjoint, they cannot occur at the same time. For example, if you flip a coin, you cannot get heads AND tails. Since A and B are disjoint, P(A and B) = 0 If A and B were independent, then P(A and B) = 0.4*0.5=0.2. For example, the chances you throw a dice and it lands on 1 AND the chances you flip a coin and it land on heads. These events are independent...the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other.
Are mutually exclusive events also complementary events?
Not necessarily. The probability of a complementary event with probability p is 1-p. Two mutually exclusive events, however, don't necessarily add up to a probability of 1. For example, the probability of drawing a King from a standard deck of cards is 1 in 13, which the complementary probability of not drawing a King is 12 in 13. The probability, however, of drawing a Heart is 1 in 4, while the probability of drawing a Club is also 1 in 4. That leaves Diamonds and Spades, which account for the remaining probability of 2 in 4.
Two angles whose measure add to 90 degrees?
complementary angles
When two events can occur with the same probability is called?
Equally likely events.
What is the probability of two independent events occurring together?
The probability of two independent events occurring together is the product of both events. yw lazy odyssey users like me :)
Two disjoint events in which one or the other must occur are called?
Complements or complementary events
Its simple what are disjoint events?
Two events are disjoint if they cannot occur together. In set terms, their intersection is a null set.
What is a disjoint events mean?
In probability theory, disjoint events are two (or more) events where more than one cannot occur in the same trial. It is possible that none of them occur in a particular trial.
Can two disjoint sets be equivalent?
Yes,Because not all disjoint no equivalent other have disjoint and equivalent
Is two acute angles are always complementary?
No
When all of the outcomes in a sample space are produced by two events those events are said to be?
These events are said to be complementary.
Why do complementary events always have a probability of one?
If an event is absolutely certain to happen is then we say the probability of it happening is 1.Complementary events are such that one of the events musthappen. Therefore the probability of one of a set of complementary events occurring is 1.For instance : The probability that a fair coin when tossed will come down showing heads is 1/2, and that it will show tails is also 1/2.The two events are complementary so the probability that the coin toss will result in either a heads or a tails is 1.Similarly, the probability that a die when rolled will show a number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 is 1 as all six events are complementary.
Can an obtuse triangle have two complementary interior angles?
No. A triangle with two complementary interior angles will always result into right triangle. The sum of the complementary angles will always be 90 degrees and the other one will be 90 too.
What is joint and disjoint?
Two sets are said to be "disjoint" if they have no common element - their intersection is the empty set. As far as I know, "joint" is NOT used in the sense of the opposite of disjoint, i.e., "not disjoint".
Can two complementary events overlap?
I don't think so hope this helps:))
What is mean by Disjoint sets in Mathematics?
Two sets are considered disjoint if they have no elements in common.
