Verified Answer :

For two independent events A and B: Prob (A ∩ B) = Prob (A) Prob (B)

Then, P(M and N) = P(M)*P(N)⇒P(N) = P(M and N) / P(M) = 0.138 / 0.46 = 0.3

Answer:

Value of P(N) is, 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given statement:

Events M and N are independent events.

By definition of independency ;

\(P(M \text{and} N) = P(M) \times P(N)\)

Also,in this scenario, if P(M) = 0.46 and P(M and N) = 0.138

Substitute the given values in [1] to solve for P(N);

\(0.138=0.46 \times P(N)\)\

Divide both sides by 0.46 we get;

\(\frac{0.138}{0.46} = \frac{0.46 \times P(N)}{0.46}\)

Simplify:

\(P(N) = 0.3\)

Therefore, the value of P(N) = 0.3
