Question #1
Given P(A)=0.7, P(B)=0.5, and P(A∩B)=0.45. Which statement is correct?
A. A and B are dependent, and P(A|B) = 0.9.
B. A and B are independent.
C. P(A∪B) = 0.8.
D. A and B are mutually exclusive.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
P(A|B)=0.45/0.5=0.9 ≠ P(A)=0.7, so dependent. P(A∪B)=0.7+0.5-0.45=0.75 ≠ 0.8.

Question #2
If events A and B are independent, which of the following must be true?
A. P(A) + P(B) = 1
B. P(A ∩ B) = 0
C. A and B are mutually exclusive
D. P(A|B) = P(A)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Independence means knowledge of B does not affect A's probability, so P(A|B) = P(A); this is equivalent to P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B).
