LOS d: Distinguish between unconditional and conditional probabilities.

 

 

 

Let A and B be two mutually exclusive events with P(A) = 0.40 and P(B) = 0.20. Therefore:

A) P(B|A) = 0.20.

B) P(A and B) = 0.

C) P(A and B) = 0.08.

For an unconditional probability:

A) there are at least two events.

B) the addition rule is important.

C) there is only one random variable of concern.

An unconditional probability gives the probability of an event regardless of what other events occur

For a given corporation, which of the following is an example of a conditional probability? The probability the corporation's:

A) dividend increases given its earnings increase.

A conditional probability involves two events. One of the events is a given, and the probability of the other event depends upon that given.

B) P(A and B) = 0.

C) P(A and B) = 0.08.

If the two evens are mutually exclusive, the probability of both ocurring is zero.
