Question 5

If $$A$$ and $$B$$ are mutually exclusive events, which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{5}{25} 	imes \frac{4}{24}$$

Question 7

Which formula correctly expresses the probability of the union of two events $$A$$ and $$B$$?

Accepted Answer

$$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$$

Accepted Answer

$$0.3$$

Question 9

Which of the following statements about conditional probability is correct?

Accepted Answer

$$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$$

Question 10

A coin is flipped three times. What is the probability of getting exactly two heads?

Accepted Answer

Question 11

Which of the following is the correct statement about the complement of an event $$A$$?

Accepted Answer

$$P(A^c) = 1 - P(A)$$

Question 12

Suppose $$P(A) = 0.4$$, $$P(B) = 0.5$$, and $$P(A \cap B) = 0.2. $$What is $$P(A \cup B)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$0.7$$

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Question 14

Which of the following is a correct application of Bayes’ rule?

Accepted Answer

Question 15

A fair coin is flipped. What is the probability of getting a head or a tail?

Accepted Answer

$$1$$

Question 16

If $$A$$ and $$B$$ are independent events, which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

$$P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B)$$
