MATH Basic Algebra II  - Unit 34: Independent and Dependent Events; Conditional Probability

Using Addition with Probability

Use the following scenario to solve the following problems: A card is drawn from a standard 52 card deck. Tell whether events A and B are inclusive or mutually exclusive, and then find the probability.


Hint:

Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot occur at the same time. If the events are mutually exclusive, use the formula: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) 

Inclusive events are events that can occur at the same time. If the events are inclusive, use the formula:  P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) 


1)

Tell whether events A and B are inclusive or mutually exclusive, and then find the probability.

Refer to the following scenario and diagram below to solve the following problems: A ski team with 14 members has eight (8) members who ski downhill, five (5) members who ski cross country, and seven (7) members who are jumpers. Some skiers participate in more than one event according to the overlapping regions in the Venn diagram. Find the probability of each event if a skier is selected at random.

Independent and Dependent Events

Refer to the following scenario to solve the following problems: A box contains six (6) red balls, nine (9) white balls, and five (5) blue balls. A ball is selected and then replaced. Then, a second ball is selected. Find the probability of each event.

Hint: Since the first ball that is selected is replaced before selecting the second ball, these are independent events.

both balls are white

Refer to the following scenario to solve the following problems: A bag contains five (5) purple beads, three (3) green beads, and two (2) orange beads. Two consecutive draws are made from the box without replacing the first draw. Find the probability of each event.

Hint: Since the first ball that is selected is not replaced before selecting the second ball, these are dependent events.
