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 :)
