![Page 1: Dependent and Independent Events. Events are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event has no effect on the occurrence of another. For example,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649eda5503460f94be9e2a/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
Dependent and Independent Events
![Page 2: Dependent and Independent Events. Events are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event has no effect on the occurrence of another. For example,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649eda5503460f94be9e2a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
• Events are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event has no effect on the occurrence of another.
• For example, Flipping a coin 5 times in a row represents a series of independent events.
• (The first flip has no effect on the second flip)
![Page 3: Dependent and Independent Events. Events are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event has no effect on the occurrence of another. For example,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649eda5503460f94be9e2a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• A coin is flipped and a die is rolled.
• What is the probability of flipping heads and rolling 5?
A: flipping head, B: rolling a 5
P(A and B) = P(A) X P(B)
= 1/2 X 1/6
= 1 / 12

The product rule for independent events
• P(A and B) = P(A) X P(B)
• Find the probability of tossing tails and rolling a 4.
• P(A) = 1/2 X 1/6
• 1/12

Consider a slot machine…
Usually, you are asked how much you want to bet…
$1, $5, or $10?
![Page 7: Dependent and Independent Events. Events are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event has no effect on the occurrence of another. For example,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649eda5503460f94be9e2a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How much would you bet if you knew the first 3 results?...
$1, $5, or $10?
![Page 8: Dependent and Independent Events. Events are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event has no effect on the occurrence of another. For example,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649eda5503460f94be9e2a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Consider the game: Dice Total
Roll a pair of dice, if theTotal: 2-7, you loseTotal : 8-12, you win
Would you play?
What if you knew the first roll was a 6?
Would you play?
![Page 9: Dependent and Independent Events. Events are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event has no effect on the occurrence of another. For example,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649eda5503460f94be9e2a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Conditional Probability involves calculations, given that a certain
condition has been met.
This occurs when events are dependent.
![Page 10: Dependent and Independent Events. Events are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event has no effect on the occurrence of another. For example,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649eda5503460f94be9e2a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Consider a deck of cards. Find the probability of drawing 2 Aces, one after
the other.
A: drawing an ace, B: drawing an ace
P(A and B) = P(A) X P(B given that A has occurred)
= P(A) X P(B A)
![Page 11: Dependent and Independent Events. Events are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event has no effect on the occurrence of another. For example,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649eda5503460f94be9e2a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
P(first ace) = 452
P(second ace first ace)
= 351
3 because an Ace is already gone
![Page 12: Dependent and Independent Events. Events are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event has no effect on the occurrence of another. For example,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649eda5503460f94be9e2a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
P(2A) = P(first ace) X P(second ace first ace)
= 452
X 351
= 122652
= 1221

Product rule for dependent events
P(A and B) = P(A) X P(B I A)
