On a certain ship that​ sank, the probability of survival was 0.294. Among first class​ passengers, it was 0.563. Were survival and ticket class​ independent? Explain. Choose the correct answer below. A. Yes​, because the probability of survival and the probability of survival given a first class passenger are the same. B. No​, because the probability of survival and the probability of survival given a first class passenger are not the same. C. Yes​, because the probability of survival and the probability of survival given a first class passenger are not the same. D. No​, because the probability of survival and the probability of survival given a first class passenger are the same.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of survival=P(S) = 0.294

Probability of Survival given 1st class= P(S|1st)= 0.563

For events to be independent P(S) = P(S|1st)

Here, P(S)  is not equal to P(S | 1st)

So, A, C and D are eliminated
