What statements are correct? Check all that apply.The conditional probability formula is P(X │ Y) = StartFraction P (X intersection Y) Over P (Y) EndFraction .The conditional probabilities P(D │ N) and P(N │ D) are equal for any events D and N.The notation P(R │ S) indicates the probability of event R, given that event S has already occurred.Conditional probability applies only to independent events.Conditional probabilities can be calculated using a Venn diagram.

Elias writes the numbers 1 through 20 on separate slips of paper. There are 16 white slips of paper and four yellow slips of paper. There are eight odd numbers on white slips, and the rest of the odd numbers are on yellow slips. Are the events "odd” and "yellow” independent?

A
no, because the probability of choosing a yellow slip is not equal to the probability of choosing a yellow slip given an odd number
B
no, because the probability of choosing an odd number is not equal to the probability of choosing an odd number on a yellow slip
C
yes, because the probability of choosing an odd number is equal to the probability of choosing an odd number given that the slip is yellow
D
yes, because the probability of choosing an odd number on a yellow slip of paper is equal to the probability of choosing an odd number
