  • Probability accepted into Carnegie Mellon is 0.130.13.

  • Probability accepted into PSU is 0.60.6.

  • Probability of being accepted to both is 0.070.07.


Noting the probabilities:

P(C)=0.13,P(P)=0.6P(C) = 0.13, P(P) = 0.6, and P(H∩P)=0.11P(H \cap P) = 0.11


Are events getting accepted into Carnegie Mellon and into Penn State independent events?
