Stating that two events are statistically independent means that the probability of one event occurring is independent of the probability of the other event having occurred. a. Trueb. False

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Two events are independent if the result of the second event is not affected by the result of the first event. If A and B are independent events, the probability of both events occurring is the product of the probabilities of the individual events.

Independent events occur either when:

The process that generates the random element does not eliminate any possible results or. The process that eliminates a possible result, but the result is replaced before a second action occurs. (This is called getting a replacement.).
