Probability of Independent Events

Question 1 • Fall 24 GMS Geometry: Concepts and Connections B

Which statement correctly describes dependent events?

Answer

Two events are dependent if they have no outcomes in common and cannot occur at the same time.
B
Two events are dependent if they have outcomes in common and can occur at the same time.
C
Two events are dependent if the outcome of the first event does not affect the outcome of the second event.
D
Two events are dependent if the outcome of the first event affects the outcome of the second event.

Explanation

Dependent events are events where knowing that the first event occurred changes the probability of the second event. In other words, the outcome of the first event affects the outcome of the second. Choice D states this correctly; choice C describes independent events.
