Let $S$ be the sample space of a random experiment and $P$ be a probability function defined on the power set of $S$. Two events $A$ and $B$ of the random experiment are called independent if

  • A
    $P(A \cap B^C) = P(A) \cdot P(B)$
  • B
    $P(A^C \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B)$
  • C
    $P(A^C \cap B^C) = (1 - P(A))(1 - P(B))$
  • D
    $P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B^C)$
