उत्तर
Given A and B are twp events such that
P(A ∪ B) = 0.7, P(A ∩ B) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.5
To prove A and B are independent it is enough to prove
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) . P(B)
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
0.7 = P (A) + 0.5 – 0.2
0.7 = P(A) + 0.3
P(A) = 0.7 – 0.3 = 0.4
P(A) . P(B) = 0.4 × 0.5 = 0.20
= P(A ∩ B)
∴ P(A∩B) = P(A) . P(B)
∴ A and B are independent.
