Given P(A) = 0.6, P(B) = 0.5, P(C) =0.25. How to prove that B and C are independent.

Answer 1

If independent then P(B) = P(B/C) = P(C/B) = P(C)

one event occurring will not change the probability of the other event

P(C)=0.25 = 1/4

P(B) = 0.5 = 1/2

Show that P(B/C) = 1/2

Show that P(C/B) = 1/4
