Question

We flip fair a coin twice. Consider the events A={HH, HT, TH} and B={HT, TT}. Then A and B are

 

disjoint and also independent

 

not disjoint and also independent

 

disjoint and also non-independent

 

not disjoint and also non-independent




An experiment can result in one of the four equally likely simple events, E1, E2, E3, E4. The Events A and B are defined as follows,

A:{E1,E2} P(A) = 0.5 B:{E1, E2, E4} P(B)=0.75. Then

 

P(A∪B) = 1

 

P(A∩B) = 0.375

 

P(A|B) = 2/3 

 

P(B|A) = 2/3
