Two events, X and Y, are independent of each other. P(Y)= and P(X and Y)=. What is P(X) written as a decimal? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete, the correct question is:

Two events, X and Y, are independent of each other. P(Y) = 5/6 and P(X and Y) = 1/3. What is P(X) written as a decimal? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary

Two events (event X and event Y) are said to be independent if the probability of event X occurring does not affect the probability of event Y occurring and vice versa. If the probability of X = P(X) and the probability of Y = P(Y), therefore P(X and Y) = P(X) × P(Y).

Given that P(Y) = 5/6 and P(X and Y) = 1/3. Therefore:

P(X and Y) = P(X) × P(Y)

Making P(X) the subject of formula by dividing through by P(Y) gives:

answer: i believe its b. if you sound out the sentences that sounds wrong.
