Are events A and B independent? Explain why or why not.
Find the probability of A union B. Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A and B are NOT disjoint, because P(A∩B) is not equal to 0.
A and B are NOT independent, because P(A∩B) is not equal to P(A)*P(B). (Verify directly!)
P(A u B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) = 0.49 + 0.65 - 0.35 = 0.79
