Probability of Independent Events

Question 15 • EAP-Algebra Functions and Data Analysis B CR

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.
A
A tile is drawn and removed, and then a second tile is drawn.
A
A red or blue or green tile is drawn.
T
Two tiles are drawn at the same time.

Explanation

Events are independent when the first event does not change the probability of the second. In choice A, the first tile is replaced before the second draw, so the bag’s contents—and the probabilities for each color—stay the same. Removing the first tile, as in choice B, changes the probabilities for the second draw.
