Question 1136534: An even number is chosen randomly from a set of cards labeled with the
numbers 1 through 8. A second even number is chosen without the first
card being replaced. Are these independent or dependent events? What is
the probability of both events occurring? Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Probability of first number chosen is even = 4/8 = 1/2
:
Probability of second number chosen is even without replacement = 3/7
:
These events are dependent, that is the outcome of one event affects the outcome of another
:
Probability of both chosen number are even = 1/2 * 3/7 = 3/14
