Question
Which of the following conditions is equivalent to events E and F being statistically independent, assuming P(F) > 0?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Slide 18 states that if P(F) > 0, then independence P(EF) = P(E)P(F) is equivalent to P(E|F) = P(E). This means the probability of E is not affected by the occurrence of F.
Hint
Statistical independence implies that knowing one event occurred does not change the probability of the other event.
