Probability of Independent Events — Quiz

Question 6 • Integrated Math II CR SUSD (EX)

Marco has a bag of red, blue, and green tiles. Which set of events would be considered independent?

Answer
A
A tile is drawn and replaced, and then a second tile is drawn.
B
A tile is drawn and removed, and then a second tile is drawn.
C
Two tiles are drawn at the same time.
D
A red or blue or green tile is drawn.

Explanation

Events are independent when the outcome of the first event does not change the probabilities for the second. In choice A, the first tile is replaced before the next draw, so the bag’s contents stay the same. Drawing and removing a tile, as in choice D, changes the contents and can affect the second draw.
