7. Independent and Dependent Events
Sign In
Determine whether the described events are independent or dependent.
B
We are given a jar that contains 6 aqua beads and 4 black beads. Now, we select two beads at random and with replacement. This means that these selections are independent events and the probability that the two beads selected will be aqua is the product of the probabilities of selecting an aqua bead.
P(two aqua)=P(aqua)* P(aqua)
a/b=.a /2./.b /2.
Multiply fractions
The probability that both beads will be aqua equals 925. This corresponds with answer B.
