Expert Solution

Question 4

Two events are A and B, neither of which are impossible events.

Question (A)

We have to prove

Now, we see

By definition of conditional probability,

Hence Proved.

Question (B)

If A and B are independent events, it means that the occurrence of A is independent of the occurrence of B.

In probability terms, it means

Now, it is given

By definition of conditional probability, this becomes

Hence proved, A and B must be independent.
