Finding Probability Independent or Not

What does it mean when two events are considered independent?

• The outcome of one event affects the outcome of the other event.

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

• The two events must occur at the same time.

• The two events cannot occur at the same time.

Using the multiplication rule, how do you calculate the probability of two independent events, A and B, happening together?

• P(A) + P(B)

• P(A) - P(B)

• P(A) / P(B)

What does it mean when two events are considered dependent?

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

• The outcome of one event affects the outcome of the other event.

• The two events must occur at the same time.

• The two events cannot occur at the same time.

If a bag contains 6 red balls and 4 blue balls, what is the probability of drawing two red balls in a row without replacement?

The outcome of one event does not influence the outcome of the other event

• dependent event

• simple event

• independent event

• compound event

Is the event INDEPENDENT or DEPENDENT?
You have a jar with 24 pieces of chocolate candy and 14 pieces of orange candy.  We take one piece of candy at random from the jar, put it back, and then take a second piece of candy at random from the jar.

• Independent

• Dependent

a number from 0 to 1 that measures the likelihood that an event will occur

• experiment

• event

• outcomes

• probability
