Probability of Independent and Dependent Events

The video tutorial explains the concept of dependent and independent events using a card drawing example. It demonstrates how the probability of drawing a diamond and then a heart changes when the first card is not replaced, making the events dependent. The tutorial then contrasts this with a scenario where the first card is replaced, making the events independent. It provides formulas and calculations for both scenarios, converting probabilities into decimals and percentages for clarity.

What makes two events dependent in the context of drawing cards from a deck?

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

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

• Both events have the same probability.

• The events occur simultaneously.

Why are the events of drawing a diamond and then a heart without replacement considered dependent?

• Because the first card is not replaced, affecting the second draw.

• Because the probability of drawing a heart is always the same.

• Because both cards are of the same color.

• Because the deck is shuffled after each draw.

How do you calculate the probability of two dependent events occurring?

• Subtract the probability of the first event from the second.

• Multiply the probability of the first event by the probability of the second event given the first has occurred.

• Add the probabilities of both events.

• Multiply the probability of the first event by the probability of the second event.
