Probability of Independent Events

Question 11 • EAP-Algebra Functions and Data Analysis B CR

Leona has a bag containing lettered tiles. Which describes dependent events?

Answer
r
removing a vowel, not replacing it, and then removing another vowel
r
removing a vowel or a consonant
r
removing a consonant, replacing it, and then removing another consonant
r
removing a consonant, replacing it, and then removing a vowel

Explanation

Events are dependent when the first event changes the probability of the second. In A, the first vowel tile is removed and not replaced, so there are fewer tiles—and possibly fewer vowels—left for the next draw. The choices that say the tile is replaced leave the bag’s contents unchanged, while B describes one draw rather than two dependent events.
