Does winning the game in the final four affects the probability of Alita's team winning the championship game?
Dependent, see solution.
Practice makes perfect
The two events described in this exercise are Alita's basketball team winning their final four game and Alita's basketball team winning the championship game. Let's recall what it means for two events to be dependent.
Dependent Events
Two events are dependent if either one happening affects the probability of the other.
The result of Alita's basketball team's game in the final four affects the probability of the team winning the championship game. This is because the results of the final four games determine whether Alita's team plays in the championship game. Therefore, the events are dependent.
