题目

Which of the following is a property of two dependent events?

选项

A.The two events must occur simultaneously.

B.The probability of one event influences the probability of the other event.

C.The probability of the two events occurring is the product of each event’s probability.

答案

B

解析

: B is correct. The probability of the occurrence of one is related to the occurrence of the other. If we are trying to forecast one event, information about a dependent event may be useful. 这题问:如果两个事件是dependent不独立的,以下哪个说法正确?A说:两个事件一定同时发生,翻译成数学公式就是P(AB)=100%。这句话本身是不对的。可以举一个反例。两个事件不独立,说明AB的发生是互相影响的,但是这种影响是什么未知。也有可能是A发生了B一定不发生,此时说明AB一定不能同时发生,此时AB是互斥事件,P(AB)=0.B说:一个事件会受到另外事件发生的影响,这个是dependent event的定义。dependent event是不独立事件,也就是两件事件的发生是互相影响的。C说:两件事情发生的概率是两个事件各自概率的乘积,翻译成数学公式就是P(AB)=P(A)*P(B)。只有独立事件才有P(AB)=P(A)*P(B),这里说的是不独立事件,所以C的说法也是错误的。
