Based on the information in the table, which of the following is an example of independent events.

Answer 1

An example of independent events is P(Police Officers and choose cars).

Which pair of events are called independent events?

When one event's occurrence or non-occurrence doesn't affect the occurrence or non-occurrence of another event, then such events are called independent events.

Symbolically, we have:

Two events A and B are said to be independent if we have:

P(A ∩ B) = P(A)P(B)

                    Police Officers         Firefighters

Cars               12                             3

Trucks            9                              4

SUVs              15                             2

Let  P(A) = Firefighters choose cars

P(B) = Firefighters choose Trucks

P(A ∩ B)  =  Police Officers choose cars

Thus,

P(A ∩ B) = P(A)P(B)

12 = (4) ( 3)

Hence,  an example of independent events is P(Police Officers and choose cars).
