A video game randomly chooses your car color and type. The
probability of getting a red car is 0.20, and the probability of
a getting a convertible is 0.30.
Event A = You get a red car.
Event B = You get a convertible.
A and B are independent events if
• A. The probability of getting a red car or a convertible is 0.06.
O
B. The probability of getting a red convertible is 0.06.
• C. The probability of getting a red car or a convertible is 0.50.
O D. The probability of getting a red convertible is 0.

Answer :

The correct statement regarding when the events will be independent is given as follows:

B. The probability of getting a red convertible is 0.06.

What are independent events?

Two events, A and B are independent, if:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)[/tex]

In this problem, the probabilities are given as follows:

  • P(A) = 0.2.
  • P(B) = 0.3.

The events will be independent if:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.2 \times 0.3 = 0.06[/tex]

The intersection of events A and B is a red convertible car, hence the correct option is:

B. The probability of getting a red convertible is 0.06.
