Question 7 • Fall 24 GMS Geometry: Concepts and Connections B
A bag contains a variety of different-colored marbles. If P(red) = [image 1] , P(green) = [image 2] , and P(red and green) = [image 3] , which statement is true?
Answer
A
The events are independent because P(red) • P(green) = P(red and green).B
The events are independent because P(red) + P(green) = P(red and green).C
The events are dependent because P(red) • P(green) ≠ P(red and green).D
The events are dependent because P(red) + P(green) ≠ P(red and green).
