Let A represent going to the movies on Friday and let B represent going bowling on Friday night. The P(A) = 0.58 and the P(B) = 0.36. The P(A and B) = 94%. Lauren says that both events are independent because P(A) + P(B) = P(A and B) Shawn says that both events are not independent because P(A)P(B) ≠ P(A and B) Which statement is an accurate statement? Lauren is incorrect because the sum of the two events is not equal to the probability of both events occurring. Shawn is incorrect because the product of the two events is equal to the probability of both events occurring. Lauren is correct because two events are independent if the probability of both occurring is equal to the sum of the probabilities of the two events. Shawn is correct because two events are independent if the probability of both occurring is not equal to the product of the probabilities of the two events.

Shawn is correct because two events are independent if the probability of both occurring is equal to the product of the probabilities of the two events.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A represent going to the movies on Friday and let B represent going bowling on Friday night. The P(A) = 0.58 and the P(B) = 0.36. The P(A and B) = 94%.

Now, it is stated that the two events are independent only if the product of the probability of the happening of each event is equal to the probability of occurring of both events.

This means that the two events A and B are independent if;

P(A) P(B) = P(A and B)

Here, P(A) = 0.58, P(B) = 0.36, and P(A and B) = 0.94

So, P(A) P(B) P(A and B)

      0.58 0.36 0.94

This shows that event a and event B are not independent.

So, the Shawn statement that both events are not independent because P(A)P(B) ≠ P(A and B) is correct.
