X and Y are two events. The probability of X or Y is 0.7 and that of X is 0.4. If X and Y are independent, find the probability of Y.
-
0.30
- 0.50
- 0.57
- 1.80
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
P (X or Y) = P(X) + P(Y), when they are independent as given.0.7 = 0.4 + P(Y)
P(Y) = 0.7 - 0.4 = 0.30
