Suppose that a and b are independent events. if p(a)=.4 and p(b)=.1, what is p(a∩b¹)? a .54 b .06 c .36 d .04

ANSWER



EXPLANATION

If event A and event B are independent, then



otherwise A and B are dependent events.

We were given that,



and



and we were asked to evaluate



Since A and B are independent,


Recall that,



This implies that,



We now substitute the above values to obtain,







Therefore the correct answer is C.
