PLS HELP ASAP Event A and event B are independent events. Given that P(B)=13 and P(A∩B)=16, what is P(A)?

The probability of event A happening which is P(A) = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we will have to make use of the mathematical formula for independent events.

Firstly, what do we mean by independent events?

Independent events are events that occur freely of each other. What this means is that the occurrence or non-occurrence of one of the events does not disturb the occurrence or non-occurrence of the other event.

Given that A and B are independent events, then mathematically;

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B)

Now from the question, we know that We are to find P(A), inputing the values we have;

1/6 = P(A) * 1/3

P(A) = 1/6/1/3

P(A) = 1/2
