10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Warm Up Find theoretical probability of each outcome 1. rolling a 6 on a number cube. 2. rolling an odd number on a number cube. 3. flipping two coins and both landing head up Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Objectives Find the probability of independent events. Find the probability of dependent events. Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Adam’s teacher gives the class two list of titles and asks each student to choose two of them to read. Adam can choose one title from each list or two titles from the same list. Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events are independent events if the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other. Events are dependent events if the occurrence of one event does affect the probability of the other. Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Example 1: Classifying Events as Independent or Dependent Tell whether each set of events is independent or dependent. Explain you answer. A. You select a card from a standard deck of cards and hold it. A friend selects another card from the same deck. Dependent; your friend cannot pick the card you picked and has fewer cards to choose from. B. You flip a coin and it lands heads up. You flip the same coin and it lands heads up again. Independent; the result of the first toss does not affect the sample space for the second toss. Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Check It Out! Example 1 Tell whether each set of events is independent or dependent. Explain you answer. a. A number cube lands showing an odd number. It is rolled a second time and lands showing a 6. Independent; the result of rolling the number cube the 1 st time does not affect the result of the 2 nd roll. b. One student in your class is chosen for a project. Then another student in the class is chosen. Dependent; choosing the 1 st student leaves fewer students to choose from the 2 nd time. Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Suppose an experiment involves flipping two fair coins. The sample space of outcomes is shown by the tree diagram. Determine theoretical probability of both coins landing heads up. Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Now look back at the separate theoretical probabilities of each coin landing heads up. The theoretical probability in each case is. The product of these two probabilities is , the same probability shown by the tree diagram. To determine the probability of two independent events, multiply the probabilities of the two events.

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Example 2 A: Finding the Probability of Independent Events An experiment consists of randomly selecting a marble from a bag, replacing it, and then selecting another marble. The bag contains 3 red marbles and 12 green marbles. What is the probability of selecting a red marble and then a green marble? Because the first marble is replaced after it is selected, the sample space for each selection is the same. The events are independent. Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Example 2 A Continued P(red, green) = P(red) P(green) The probability of selecting red is , and the probability of selecting green is Holt Algebra 1 .

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Example 2 B: Finding the Probability of Independent Events A coin is flipped 4 times. What is the probability of flipping 4 heads in a row. Because each flip of the coin has an equal probability of landing heads up, or a tails, the sample space for each flip is the same. The events are independent. P(h, h, h, h) = P(h) • P(h) The probability of landing heads up is with each event. Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Check It Out! Example 2 An experiment consists of spinning the spinner twice. What is the probability of spinning two odd numbers? The result of one spin does not affect any following spins. The events are independent. With 6 numbers on the spinner, 3 of which are odd, the probability of landing on two odd numbers is. P(odd, odd) = P(odd) • P(odd) Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Lesson Quiz: Part I Tell whether each set of events is independent or dependent. Explain your answer. 1. flipping two different coins and each coin landing showing heads Independent; the flip of the first coin does not affect the sample space for the flip of the second coin. 2. drawing a red card from a standard deck of cards and not replacing it; then drawing a black card from the same deck of cards Dependent; there are fewer cards to choose from when drawing the black card. Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Lesson Quiz: Part II 3. Eight cards are numbered from 1 to 8 and placed in a box. One card is selected at random and not replaced. Another card is randomly selected. What is the probability that both cards are greater than 5? 4. An experiment consists of randomly selecting a marble from a bag, replacing it, and then selecting another marble. The bag contains 3 yellow marbles and 2 white marbles. What is the probability of selecting a white marble and then a yellow marble? Holt Algebra 1

10 -7 Independent and Dependent Events Lesson Quiz: Part III 5. A number cube is rolled two times. What is the probability of rolling an even number first and then a number less than 3? Holt Algebra 1
