INSTRUCTIONS:Determine whether the following individual events are independent or dependent.
Then find the probability of the combined event.
===========================
QUESTION: Randomly selecting a four-person committee consisting entirely of men from a pool of 11 men and 16 women.
Event is independent
------------------------
# of ways to succeed: 11C4
# of possible outcomes: 27C4
P(4 men) = 11C4/27C4 = 0.0189
--------------------------------
The event of selecting a man and the event of selecting a man the next time are dependent (dependent or independent).
