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.

A.

0.30

B.

0.50

C.

0.57

D.

1.80

Correct Answer: 0.30

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

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
