Understanding Compound Probability

What defines two events as independent?

• Both events must involve the same participants.

• The outcome of the second event is influenced by the first event.

• The outcome of the second event is not influenced by the first event.

• Both events must occur simultaneously.

What does it mean when two events are dependent?

• Both events are unrelated.

• Both events must occur at the same time.

• The outcome of one event is determined by the outcome of another.

• The outcome of one event does not affect the other.

How do you calculate the probability of a simple event?

• Favorable outcomes divided by possible outcomes.

• Product of all outcomes.

• Possible outcomes divided by favorable outcomes.

What is the significance of 'without replacement' in probability?

• It indicates that the events are dependent.

• It means the event cannot occur again.

• It indicates that the events are independent.

• It means the total number of outcomes increases.

How does not replacing an item affect the probability of subsequent events?

• It decreases the total number of outcomes, affecting the probability.

• It resets the probability to its original state.

• It increases the probability of repeating the event.

• It has no effect on the probability.
