SOLUTION: A and B are independent events. Use the following probabilities to answer the question. Round to 4 decimal places. P(A) = 0.24, P(A and B) = 0.12, find P(B) P(B) =

Algebra ->  Probability-and-statistics -> SOLUTION: A and B are independent events. Use the following probabilities to answer the question. Round to 4 decimal places. P(A) = 0.24, P(A and B) = 0.12, find P(B) P(B) =       Log On

Since the events A and B are independent,  P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B).


In other words,  0.12 = 0.24*P(B).


It gives  P(B) =  =  = 0.5 = 50%.    ANSWER
