1. Two events are considered independent if: a) The occurrence of one event affects the occurrence of the other event. b) The occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other event. c) The occurrence of one event guarantees the occurrence of the other event. d) The occurrence of one event is impossible without the occurrence of the other event. 2. The formula for calculating the probability of independent events is: a) P(A ∩B) = P(A) * P(B) b) P(A ∩B) = P(A) + P(B) c) P(A ∩B) = P(A) / P(B) d) P(A ∩B) = P(A) - P(B) 3. If A and B are independent events, what is the probability of both events occurring? a) P(A ∩B) = P(A) * P(B) b) P(A ∩B) = P(A) + P(B) c) P(A ∩B) = P(A) / P(B) d) P(A ∩B) = P(A) - P(B) 4.

Which of the following statements are true? Mark all that apply.If A and B are independent events, then the probability of Event B occurring is the same whether or not Event A occurs.If events A and B are independent, then P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B)If P(A) is the probability that event A will occur, then the probability event A will NOT occur is 1 - P(A).Two events are independent if they cannot occur at the same time.If events A and B are overlapping, then P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
