If events a and b are independent, and the probability that event a occurs is 83%, what must be true? the probability that event b occurs is 17%. the probability that event b occurs is 83%. the probability that event a occurs, given that event b occurs, is 83%. the probability that event b occurs, given that event a occurs, is 83%.

It is given in the question that

events A and B are independent, and the probability that event A occurs is 83%.

Therefore probability that event B occurs is

So probability of event B occurs is 0.17 or 17% .

Therefore out of the given options, correct option is the first one which is " The probability that event B occurs is 17% " .

the answer is c

hope this !
