Question

An experiment consists of rolling a standard six-sided die once. Event A is "rolling a 5{}^{\prime\prime} and event B is "rolling an odd number." Are the events dependent or independent? Why? Select the option that correctly answers both questions.

O Events A and B are independent, because P(B) = P(B|A) = 1/2.
O Events A and B are independent, because P(A) = P(B|A) = 1/12.
O Events A and B are dependent, because P(A) =/ P(B|A).
O Events A and B are dependent, because P(B) =/ P(B|A).

Answer 1

Based on the given probability events, we can calculate that Events A and B are independent, because P(B) = P(B|A) = 1/2.

Is event B independent of event A?

Events are independent if P(B) = P(B|A)

The probability of event B is:

= 3 odd numbers / 6 numbers

= 1 / 2

The probability of A is:

= 3 prime numers / 6

= 1/2

P(B|A) = ((1 / 2) x (1 / 2)) / (1 / 2)

= 1/2

So P(B) = P(B|A) = 1/2.

The events are independent.
