Question

if the probability of the first event occurs is 1/4 and the probability that the second event occurs is 1/x+2 what is the probability that both events will occur?

Answer 1

If two events A and B are independent and their individual probabilities are P(A) and P(B), then the probability that both will occur P(A n B) = P(A) * P(B)

Required probability = *

Multiplying and dividing by , we get

Choice A.

There is 0/4 chance of occuring both at same . which means there is no chance of both occuring at the same time.
