Independent and Mutually Exclusive Events · Try It 5
Let event A = learning Spanish. Let event B = learning German. Then A AND B = learning Spanish and German. Suppose P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.2. P(A AND B) = 0.08. Are events A and B independent? Hint: You must show ONE of the following:
• P(A|B) = P(A)
• P(B|A) = P(B)
• P(A AND B) = P(A)P(B)
